Quotes about life:
Quotes for: experience
What experience and history teach is this — that people and governments never have learned anything from history, or acted on principles deduced from it.
Quotes for: problem
As soon as questions of will or decision or reason or choice of action arise, human science is at a loss.
Problems that remain persistently insoluble should always be suspected as questions asked in the wrong way.
The solution to the problem, which you see in life, lies in living in a way that makes the problems disappear.
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
Don't get involved in partial problems, but always take flight to where there is a free view over the whole single great problem, even if this view is still not a clear one.
Quotes for: reality
A person who thinks all the time has nothing to think about except thoughts. So he loses touch with reality, and lives in a world of illusion.
The idea of the future, pregnant with an infinity of possibilities, is thus more fruitful than the future itself, and this is why we find more charm in hope than in possession, in dreams than in reality.
Common sense tells us that the things of the earth exist only a little, and that true reality is only in dreams.
