Message to wealthy people

Ye stronger and arrogant intellects, we ask you but for one thing: do not throw another burden on our shoulders, but take some of our burden upon yours, since you, forsooth, are the stronger! But you delight in doing the reverse: for you wish to soar, wherefore we have to carry your burden in addition to ours: that is, we have to crawl.

Passionate people quote

Passionate people little think of what others may think; their frame of mind raises them above vanity.

Posing as judge quote

As soon as somebody poses as judge, although he be no connoisseur, we ought forthwith to remonstrate, be he man or woman. Enthusiasm or delight in a thing or a human being are no arguments, neither are grudge and hatred against them.

Lying to yourself quote

Make it a rule never to withhold or conceal anything from yourself, anything that you might think against your own thoughts. It is the foremost requirement of honest reflection. Every day you must make it your duty to wage war against self. A victory and a conquered bulwark are no longer your concern but that of truth, but also your defeat is no longer your concern.

Knowing yourself quote

We must be honest towards ourselves and thoroughly acquainted with our inmost hearts, so as to be able to practice upon others that humane dissimulation which is called love and kindness.

Weather quote

A very unusual and unsettled weather makes men suspicious, even of one another; at the same time they grow fond of innovations, having to part with their old habits. Wherefore despots fancy those regions where the weather is moral.

Reviewing the day

He who reviews his day`s and life`s work when he is weary and worn out, generally arrives at a melancholy conclusion: this, however, is not the fault of day and life, but of weariness. In the midst of our work, and even our pleasures, we usually find no leisure to muse over life and existence: but should this for once actually happen, we should no longer concede the point to him who was waiting for the seventh day and for rest to find all things in existence very beautiful- he had missed the right moment.

Quote about friend

The friend whose hopes we cannot satisfy, we would prefer to have for an enemy.

Good-natured people

The good-natured have acquired their character from the constant dread of foreign encroachments in which their ancestors lived;- who were in the habit of mitigating, appeasing, apologizing, preventing, diverting, flattering, humbling themselves, concealing both grief and anger, smoothing their features, – and ultimately bequeathed this whole delicate and successful mechanism to their children and grandchildren. These, thanks to a more propitious fate, had no occasion for that permanent dread: nevertheless they continue in the same groove.

General knowledge quote

The general knowledge of mankind has been more effectively promoted by fear than by love; for fear tries to find out who the other is, what he knows, what he wants: it would be hazardous and detrimental to be deceived on this head. Love, on the other hand, has a secret craving to discover in the loved object as many beautiful qualities as possible, or to raise him as highly as possible: to be thus deceived would be delightful and propitious, – wherefore love indulges in it.

Quote about lying

Men lie unspeakably often, but they do not trouble to think of it, and generally do not believe it.

Strength of character

“What I have said once, that I will do,” – this mode of thinking is considered to show strength of character. How many actions are accomplished, not because they have been selected as the most rational, but because they, when they occurred in our minds, in some way or other tickled our ambition and vanity so that we persist in them and rashly accomplish them. Thus they strengthen in us the belief in our character and our safe conscience, hence, generally speaking, in our strength: whilst the choice of the most rational acts maintains scepticism against us and a sense of weakness in us.

Way to corrupt a young mind

The surest way of corrupting a young man is to teach him to esteem the like-minded more highly than the different-minded.

Art of serving quote

It is one of the most difficult tasks of the great art of serving, to serve an excessively ambitious man who, though being in every respect intensely selfish, is thoroughly averse to being considered as such ( this is indeed part of his ambition), who wants to be gratified and humoured in all things, yet in such wise as to give himself the appearance of sacrificing his own person and rarely claiming anything for himself.

Gratitude quote

One superfluous grain of gratitude and piety makes one suffer as from a vice, and incur an evil conscience, despite all one`s independence and honesty.

Meaning of your business to society

Your business is your greatest prejudice, it ties you to your loyalty, your society, your inclinations. Diligent in business, but lazy in intellect, content with your inadequacy and with the cloak of duty covering this contentment; so you live, so you like to see your children.

We ought to do away with beggars, for we are sorry both when we relieve them and when we do not relieve them.

The passions become evil and vicious when viewed with evil and vicious eyes.

Quote about passion 

desire of being believed

He who attaches so great an importance to being believed in, as to vouchsafe heaven for this belief, nay, everybody, be he even a malefactor on the cross, must have suffered of a terrible doubt and experienced every form of crucifixion: else he would not buy his faithful followers so dearly.
