"The happiness which we receive from ourselves..." - Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

“Although as a rule the absurd culminates, and it seems impossible for the voice of the individual ever to penetrate through the chorus of foolers and fooled, still there is left to the genuine works of all times a quite peculiar, silent, slow, and powerful influence; and as if by a miracle, we see them rise at last out of the turmoil like a balloon that floats up out of the thick atmosphere of this globe into purer regions. Having once arrived there, it remains at rest, and no one can any longer draw it down again.”

“There are, first of all, two kinds of authors: those who write for the subject's sake, and those who write for writing's sake. The first kind have had thoughts or experiences which seem tothem worth communicating, while the second kind need money and consequently write for money.”

“To free a person from error is to give, and not to take away.”

“Seek happy nights to happy days.W”

“It is my fundamental conviction that compassion - the natural capacity of the human heart to feel concern for and connection with another human being - constitutes a basic aspect of our nature shared by all human beings, as well as being the foundation of our happiness. All ethical teachings, whether religious or nonreligious, aim to nurture this innate and precious quality, to develop it and to perfect it.”

“Talk health, happiness, and prosperity to every person you meet.”

“With coarse rice to eat, with water to drink, and my bent arm for a pillow - I have still joy in the midst of all these things.”

“Love opens my chest, and thought returns to its confines.”

“Everybody loves to talk about calmness and peace, whether in a family, national, or international context, but without inner peace how can we make real peace? World peace through hatred and force is impossible.”
