You call yourself free. Free from what, or free for what?

You start by unlearning to love others, and you end by no longer finding anything in yourself worthy of love.

The age of conceit. Between 26 and 30 is a wonderful time of life, when a person is angry at fate because he is so much and seems so little.

There is no beautiful surface without terrible depth.

We lose interest in what we have learned as soon as we share it with others.

In Germany, desire is much more respected than skill: this is the most suitable region for imperfect and pretentious people.

Don't let yourself be deceived! The most active peoples carry within themselves the greatest weariness, their restlessness is weakness - they do not have sufficient content to wait and be lazy.

If only Europe would soon give birth to a great statesman, let the one who today, in the petty era of plebeian myopia, be honored as a great realist, enjoy petty authority.

These constitutional monarchs were given virtue: from then on they can no longer act unjustly - but this is why their power was taken away from them.

Someone else becomes great only after death - through an echo.

Now it is only an echo through which events acquire greatness: the echo of newspapers.

Dühring, the superlative, is looking for corruption everywhere, but I sense another danger of the era: great mediocrity - never before has there been so much honesty and good behavior.

The era of the greatest achievements will turn out, despite everything, to be an era of the most insignificant influences if people are rubbery and overly elastic.

It’s not what he does and plots against me during the day that bothers me, but the fact that I appear in his dreams at night horrifies me.

By recognizing something in a person, we at the same time kindle it in him, and whoever recognizes only the base properties of a person has the power to stimulate them and allows them to be discharged. The emotions of your neighbors, directed against you, are criticism of your knowledge, in accordance with the level of its height and baseness.

Out of your bitterness towards some person you concoct moral indignation for yourself - and admire yourself afterwards: and out of satiety with hatred - forgiveness - and again you admire yourself.

An extraordinary person learns in misfortune how insignificant all the dignity and decency of the people who condemn him are. They burst when their vanity is insulted - the intolerable, narrow-minded brute appears before the eye.

The burgher and knightly virtues do not understand each other and denigrate each other.

He who treats people fairly is still stingy with his politeness.

He who is poor in love is stingy even with his politeness.

That we like a certain person, we willingly count this in favor of his and our own morality.

The familiarity of a person superior to us embitters us, since we cannot pay him back in the same coin. On the contrary, he should be advised to be polite, that is, to constantly pretend that he respects something.

The dog pays good location to yourself with humility. The cat enjoys itself and experiences a voluptuous feeling of power: it gives nothing back.

When a hundred people stand next to each other, everyone loses his mind and gains some other one.

After all, he was the smartest and most gifted man, a man, so to speak, even of science, although, however, in science... well, in a word, he did not do much in science, and, it seems, nothing at all. But this happens all the time with people of science in Rus'.

There is no idea, no fact that cannot be trivialized and presented in a funny way.

And invariably it still continues: we found a job and squealed with delight. Squealing and lying with delight is our very first priority; look, two years later and we go our separate ways, hanging our noses.

Beauty will save the world.

The entire second half human life is usually compiled from the habits accumulated in the first half alone.

The real truth is always implausible... To make the truth more believable, you must certainly mix lies into it. People have always done this.

If there is no God, then what kind of captain am I after this?

Mystical ideas love persecution, they are created by it.

In abstract love for humanity, you almost always love only yourself.

Russia is a game of nature, not of the mind.

Only those who have no wit speak the truth.

Man does not know his own nature.

You can't love what you don't know!

To act smartly, intelligence alone is not enough.

Humanity is only a habit, the fruit of civilization. It may completely disappear.

Falling in love does not mean loving: you can fall in love while hating.

To love each other, you need to fight with yourself.

It was not you who ate the idea, but you who were eaten by the idea.

A person, in addition to happiness, also needs unhappiness in exactly the same way!

If you are heading towards your goal and stop along the way to throw stones at every dog ​​that barks at you, you will never reach your goal

  • 19 November 2012, 21:11

Even unsubstantiated slander leaves almost eternal traces.

A fairy tale is a lie, but there is a hint in it,
A lesson to good fellows.

And happiness was so possible
So close!

This habit has been given to us from above:
She is a substitute for happiness.

Half my lord, half merchant,
Half-sage, half-ignorant,
Semi-scoundrel, but there is hope
Which will be complete at last.

They are ashamed of love, thoughts are driven away,
They trade according to their will,
They bow their heads before idols
And they ask for money and chains!


Always sharp and ironic, sometimes paradoxical and even caustic, the statements of these people have been added to more than one collection of aphorisms and have stood the test for years due to their undeniable accuracy.

(Einstein, Albert) (1879-1955), theoretical physicist, one of the founders of modern physics. Known primarily as the author of the theory of relativity. Laureate Nobel Prize in physics 1921 ("for the explanation of the photoelectric effect").

Said:

I never think about the future. It comes on its own soon enough.

Theory is when everything is known, but nothing works. Practice is when everything works, but no one knows why. We combine theory and practice: nothing works... and no one knows why!

The only thing that prevents me from studying is the education I received.

The most incomprehensible thing about this world is that it is comprehensible.

Since mathematicians took up the theory of relativity, I myself no longer understand it.

It makes no sense to continue doing the same thing and expect different results.

The greater my fame, the more stupid I become; and this is undoubtedly general rule.

It's always nice not to arrive where you are expected.

You should never trust a woman who tells you her age. A woman capable of this is capable of anything.

Positive people get on your nerves, bad people get on your imagination.

A man always wants to be a woman's first love. Women are more sensitive in such matters. They would like to become last love men.

Murder is always a miss. You should never do anything that you can't chat with people about after dinner.

Women have simply amazing intuition. They notice everything except the obvious.

A married man's happiness depends on those he is not married to.

FRANCOIS DE LAROCHEFOUCAULT(La Rochefoucauld, Francois de) (1613-1680). French political figure XVII century and a famous memoirist, author of famous philosophical aphorisms.

Said:

How often do people use their minds to do stupid things.

Anyone who thinks that they can do without others is greatly mistaken. But the one who thinks that others cannot do without him is even more mistaken.

While smart people are able to express a lot in a few words, limited people, on the contrary, have the ability to talk a lot - and say nothing.

There is only one love, but there are thousands of counterfeits.

We always have the courage to endure someone else's misfortune.

True love is like a ghost: everyone talks about it, but few have seen it.

He who has never committed folly is not as wise as he thinks.

Every person has the right to own opinion- provided that it coincides with ours.

What's the point of money if you have to work for it?

She said:

A woman should dress in such a way that it is pleasant to undress her.

You can never have too much money for independence.

The best thing about love is doing it.

Disgust often comes after pleasure, but often precedes it.
