Life Quotes Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“Mostly it is loss which teaches us about the worth of things.”

“NOT to my contemporaries, not to my compatriots but to”

“A sense of humour is the only divine quality of man”

“If God made this world, then i would not want to be the God. It is full of misery and distress that it breaks my heart.”

“Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.”

“Just as one spoils the stomach by overfeeding and thereby impairs the whole body, so can one overload and choke the mind by giving it too much nourishment. For the more one reads the fewer are the traces left of what one has read; the mind is like a tablet that has been written over and over. Hence it is impossible to reflect; and it is only by reflection that one can assimilate what one has read. If one reads straight ahead without pondering over it later, what has been read does not take root, but is for the most part lost.”

“no, no, it's not all random, if it really was all random, the universe would abandon us completely. and the universe doesn't. it takes care of its most fragile creations in ways we can't see. like with parents who adore you blindly. and a big sister who feels guilty for being human over you. and a little gravelly-voiced kid whose friends have left him over you. and even a pink-haired girl who carries your picture in her wallet. maybe it is a lottery, but the universe makes it all even out in the end. the universe takes care of all its birds.”

“The foolish man seeks happiness in the distance, the wise grows it under his feet.”

“I loved you long before you loved me. It's the only thing I have you beat at, and I'll bring it up every chance I get.”

““It is always better”

“In the name of God, stop a moment, cease your work, look around you.”

“The busiest people I have known in my life always have time enough to do everything. Those who do nothing are always tired and pay no attention to the little amount of work they are required to do. They complain constantly that the day is too short. The truth is, they are afraid to fight the good fight.”
