If a person tells me he has been to the worst places I have no reason to judge him; but if he tells me it was his superior wisdom that enabled him to go there, then I know he is a fraud.

Philosophy is a battle against the bewitchment of our intelligence by means of language.

[M]an is fulfilling the purpose of existence who no longer needs to have any purpose except to live. That is to say, who is content.

That which cannot be said must not be said. That which cannot be said, one must be silent thereof.

Philosophy just puts everything before us, and neither explains nor deduces anything.-Since everything lies open to view there is nothing to explain

Because our goals are not lofty but illusory, our problems are not difficult, but nonsensical.

What signs fail to express, their application shows. What signs slur over, their application says clearly.
