Quote

Boundless compassion for all living beings is the surest and most certain guarantee of pure moral conduct, and needs no casuistry. Whoever is filled with it will assuredly injure no one, do harm to no one, encroach on no man's rights; he will rather have regard for every one, forgive every one, help every one as far as he can, and all his actions will bear the stamp of justice and loving-kindness.

Arthur Schopenhauer, On the Basis of Morality

"What the herd hates most is the one who thinks differently; It's not so much the opinion itself, but the boldness of wanting to think for yourself - an ability of which they themselves are not capable." Arthur Schopenhauer.

It is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility, is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire.

Text

All striving comes from lack, from a dissatisfaction with one's condition, and is thus suffering as long as it is not satisfied; but no satisfaction is lasting; instead, it is only the beginning of a new striving. We see striving everywhere inhibited in many ways, struggling everywhere; and thus always suffering; there is no final goal of striving, and therefore no bounds or end to suffering.

Text

Every person can be considered from two opposite points of view; from the one, they are an individual, beginning and ending in time, fleeting and transitory, “the dream of a shadow,” besides being afflicted with pangs and failings; from the other, they are the indestructible primary being that objectifies itself in every existing thing and as such can say like the statue of Isis at Sais: “I am all that was, and is, and will be.” Such a being, of course, might do something better than manifest itself in a world such as this. For it is the world of finitude, suffering, and death. What is in it and comes out of it must end and die. But what is not out of it and will not be out of it, pierces through it, all-powerful like a flash of lightning which strikes upwards and then knows neither time nor death. To reconcile all these antitheses is really the theme of philosophy.

HAYAT KURALI No.19 "Öfke ya da nefreti kelimelerle ya da tavırlarla göstermek yararsızdır, tehlikelidir, akıllıca değildir, gülünçtür, bayağıdır."

Alcuni porcospini, in una fredda giornata d’inverno, si strinsero vicini, vicini, per proteggersi, col calore reciproco, dal rimanere assiderati. Ben presto, però, sentirono le spine reciproche; il dolore li costrinse ad allontanarsi di nuovo l’uno dall’altro. Quando poi il bisogno di riscaldarsi li portò nuovamente a stare insieme, si ripeté quell’altro malanno; di modo che venivano sballottati avanti e indietro fra due mali. Finché non ebbero trovato una moderata distanza reciproca, che rappresentava per loro la migliore posizione.

Così il bisogno di società, che scaturisce dal vuoto e dalla monotonia della propria interiorità, spinge gli uomini l’uno verso l’altro; le loro molteplici repellenti qualità e i loro difetti insopportabili, però, li respingono di nuovo l’uno lontano dall’altro. La distanza media, che essi riescono finalmente a trovare e grazie alla quale è possibile una coesistenza, si trova nella cortesia e nelle buone maniere.

A colui che non mantiene quella distanza, si dice in Inghilterra: keep your distance! − Con essa il bisogno del calore reciproco è soddisfatto in modo incompleto, in compenso però non si soffre delle spine altrui.-

— Arthur Schopenhauer

Quote

Poetry is related to philosophy as experience is related to empirical science. Experience makes us acquainted with the phenomenon in the particular and by means of examples, science embraces the whole of phenomena by means of general conceptions. So poetry seeks to make us acquainted with the Platonic Ideas through the particular and by means of examples. Philosophy aims at teaching, as a whole and in general, the inner nature of things which expresses itself in these.
