Thinking is more interesting than knowing, but less interesting than looking.

The thinker makes a great mistake when he asks after cause and effect. They both together make up the indivisible phenomenon.

The suffering may be moral or physical; and in my opinion it is just as absurd to call a man a coward who destroys himself, as to call a man a coward who dies of a malignant fever.

He is happiest, be he king or peasant, who finds peace in his home.

Wer fremde Sprachen nicht kennt, weiss nichts von seiner eigenen.He who is ignorant of foreign languages, knows not his own.

Man... knows only when he is satisfied and when he suffers, and only his sufferings and his satisfactions instruct him concerning himself, teach him what to seek and what to avoid. For the rest, man is a confused creature; he knows not whence he comes or whither he goes, he knows little of the world, and above all, he knows little of himself.

To know where a thing is we must have found it.
