Text Quotes
The greatest things in the world are brought about by other things which we count as nothing: little causes we overlook but which at length accumulate (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)

No people are more conceited than those who depict their own feelings, especially if they happen to have a little prose at their command for the occasion (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Propositions on which all men are in agreement are true: if they are not true we have no truth at all (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Truly, men make too little use of their lives; and so it is no wonder that the world should still be in such a poor way (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Just as there are polysyllabic words that say very little, so there are also monosyllabic words of infinite meaning (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
God created man in His own image, says the Bible; philosophers reverse the process: they create God in theirs (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
The Greeks possessed a knowledge of human nature we seem hardly able to attain to without passing through the strengthening hibernation of a new barbarism (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Just as we outgrow a pair of trousers, we outgrow acquaintances, libraries, principles, etc., at times before they’re worn out and times - and this is the worst of all - before we have new ones (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Food probably has a very great influence on the condition of men. Wine exercises a more visible influence, food does it more slowly but perhaps just as surely. Who knows if a well-prepared soup was not responsible for the pneumatic pump or a poor one for a war? (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
As the few adepts in such things well know, universal morality is to be found in little everyday penny-events just as much as in great ones. There is so much goodness and ingenuity in a raindrop that an apothecary wouldn’t let it go for less than half-a-crown (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Courage, garrulousness and the mob are on our side. What more do we want? (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
The greatest events occur without intention playing any part in them; chance makes good mistakes and undoes the most carefully planned undertaking. The world’s greatest events are not produced, they happen (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Reason now gazes above the realm of the dark but warm feelings as the Alpine peaks do above the clouds. They behold the sun more clearly and distinctly, but they are cold and unfruitful (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
I am always grieved when a man of real talent dies. The world needs such men more than Heaven does (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Theologians always try to turn the Bible into a book without common sense (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
An hour-glass is a reminder not only of time’s quick flight, but also of the dust to which we must at last return (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
In mathematical analysis we call x the undetermined part of line a: the rest we don’t call y, as we do in common life, but a-x. Hence mathematical language has great advantages over the common language (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Never undertake anything for which you wouldn’t have the courage to ask the blessings of heaven. (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
It is too bad if you have to do everything upon reflection and can’t do anything from early habit. (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
If we thought more for ourselves we would have very many more bad books and very many more good ones. (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
The book which most deserved to be banned would be a catalog of banned books (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
One use of dreams is that, unprejudiced by our often forced and artificial reflections, they represent the impartial outcome of our entire being. (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
I believe that man is in the last resort so free a being that his right to be what he believes himself to be cannot be contested. (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
Man is a masterpiece of creation, if only because no amount of determinism can prevent him from believing that he acts as a free being. (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
There is a great difference between believing in something and believing in it again (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
The wisdom of providence is as much revealed in the rarity of genius, as in the circumstance that not everyone is deaf or blind. (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
If you are going to build something in the air it is always better to build castles than houses of cards. (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
A clever child brought up with a foolish one can itself become foolish. Man is so perfectible and corruptible he can become a fool through good sense. (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
To be content with life or to live merrily, rather all that is required is that we bestow on all things only a fleeting, superficial glance; the more thoughtful we become the more earnest we grow. (Georg C Lichtenberg Quotes)
