To be human is to feel responsible. Feel shame in front of poverty, which, it would seem, does not depend on you. Be proud of every victory won by your comrades. To realize that by laying a brick, you are helping to build the world.
Are you concerned about the future? Build today. You can change everything. Grow a cedar forest on a barren plain. But it is important that you do not construct cedars, but plant seeds.
What constitutes the dignity of the world can be saved only under one condition: remembering it. And the dignity of the world consists of mercy, love of knowledge and respect for the inner man.

Apuleius

Valery Yakovlevich Bryusov
The human mind is like a skein of tangled silk; First of all, you need to carefully find the end of the thread to untangle it.

Vasily Alexandrovich Sukhomlinsky
You can judge a person much more accurately by his dreams than by his thoughts.
The future has several names. For a weak person, the name of the future is impossibility. For the faint-hearted - the unknown. For the thoughtful and valiant - an ideal. The need is urgent, the task is great, the time has come. Forward to victory!
Man was created not to drag chains, but to soar above the earth with his wings wide open.
To move forward, a person must constantly have before him at the heights of glorious examples of courage.
In serving a cause or loving another person, a person fulfills himself. The more he gives himself to the business, the more he gives himself to his partner, the more to a greater extent he is a man, and the more he becomes himself.
Victor Frankl
Everything can be taken away from a person except one thing: the last human freedom - to choose own attitude to any circumstances, choose your own path.
Victor Frankl
It is much more important how a person relates to fate than what it is in itself. Vissarion Grigorievich Belinsky Finding your way, finding out your place in life - this is everything for a person, this means for him to become himself.
Wilhelm Humboldt
Man is created for happiness, like a bird is created for flight.
Vladimir Galaktionovich Korolenko
Neither nickname, nor religion, nor the very blood of ancestors makes a person a member of one or another nationality... Whoever thinks in what language belongs to that people.

Vladimir Soloukhin

It is easier to judge a person's intelligence by his questions than by his answers.
Gaston de Levis
Human capabilities have not yet been measured. We cannot judge them by previous experience - the person has not yet dared so much.
Henry David Thoreau
We are often lonelier among people than in the quiet of our rooms. When a person thinks or works, he is always alone with himself, no matter where he is.

Henry David Thoreau
Nothing can fully stir a person's mind if there is no dream.

Delia Steinberg Guzman
When all roads come to a dead end, when all illusions are destroyed, when not a single ray of sun shines on the horizon, a spark of hope remains in the depths of the soul of every person.
Delia Steinberg Guzman
When the rite is performed in the soul of a person, when he feels that the name, image, virtue, and everything connected with God live in his own heart, when worship is performed in this place of the human body, where the human comes into contact with the divine, then the boundaries are erased religions, and the Highest Intuition allows us to see the radiance of the one God.
Delia Steinberg Guzman
A new miracle that needs to be added to the list of traditional ones is the miracle of being a person whose feet are on the ground and whose head rises to the starry sky.
Delia Steinberg Guzman
Only human consciousness is capable of overcoming the path from the diversity of things to Unity. It ascends and descends, descends and ascends, connecting these two extremes of the manifestation of life.
Delia Steinberg Guzman
A person is born, grows, reaches his prime, weakens and dies. Despite his blindness, he still admits that his death is not absolute, just as nothing in nature freezes completely. He does not realize that, as soon as the time comes, he, too, will be reborn with the same ease with which trees do it. He cannot pretend to be reborn in the same body, but the trees do not need the same leaves that were on them last summer. Our bodies are leaves, but the roots remain the same, just as the soul lives forever.
Delia Steinberg Guzman
Be good person- means not only not to do injustice, but also not to desire it.
Democritus
Honest and dishonest man are known not only from what they do, but also from what they desire.
Democritus
Knowing how things should be characterizes an intelligent person; knowledge of how things really are characterizes an experienced person; knowing how to change them characterizes a person of genius.
Denis Diderot
Most happy man the one who gives happiness the largest number people.
Denis Diderot
There is a force of aspiration in the human will that turns the fog within us into the sun.
Deep within the soul there is a desire that leads a person from the visible to the invisible, to philosophy, to the divine.
A person's worth is not determined by what he has achieved, but rather by what he dares to achieve. Gibran Khalil Gibran True Light is the one that comes from within a person and reveals the secrets of the heart to the soul, making it happy and in harmony with life.
Man struggles to find life outside himself, not realizing that the life he seeks is within him.
A person who is limited in heart and thoughts tends to love what is limited in life. One whose vision is limited cannot see beyond the length of one cubit on the road he is walking on or on the wall he is leaning against with his shoulder.
Whatever the cost, you must act truthfully and must not do what is untrue, no matter what an ignorant person thinks or says about you.
Jiddu Krishnamurti
It often happens that a person considers happiness to be far from himself, but it has already come to him with silent steps.
Giovanni Boccaccio
The less a person thinks about himself, the less unhappy he is.
Johnson
After all, the human heart also has two peaks that grow from a single root; equally in spiritual sense From one passion of the heart arise two opposites, hatred and love, just as Mount Parnassus has a single base under two peaks.

A person is like a brick; when burned, it becomes hard.
George Bernard Shaw
Success should be measured not so much by the position that a person has achieved in life, but by the obstacles that he has overcome in achieving success.

Keep those great ones inside you spiritual qualities, which constitute the distinctive attribute of an honest man, a great man and a hero. Be afraid of any artificiality. Let not the infection of vulgarity darken your ancient taste for honor and valor.
Catherine II
While our heart is filled with thoughts of a small group of several “I”s, near and dear to us, what remains in our soul for the rest of humanity?
Let every burning human tear fall into the depths of your heart, and let it remain there: do not remove it until the sadness that gave birth to it is eliminated.
Debt is what we owe to humanity, our loved ones, our neighbors, our family, and, above all, what we owe to all those who are poorer and more defenseless than us. This is our duty, and failure to fulfill it during life makes us spiritually bankrupt and leads to a state of moral collapse in our future incarnation.
Each is given the opportunity to go from peak to peak and cooperate with nature in achieving the obvious purpose of life. The spiritual “I” of a person moves in eternity like a pendulum swinging between the periods of life and death. This “I” is an actor, and its many incarnations are the roles that it plays.
A real person is one who does not go back on his words.
A person is born for great things when he has the strength to conquer himself.
Jean Baptiste Massillon
A noble person is above insults, injustice, grief, ridicule; he would be invulnerable if he were a stranger to compassion.

Happy, thrice happy is the man who is strengthened by the adversities of life.
Genre Fabre
A person can remain himself only if he tirelessly strives to rise above himself.

Jules Renard
A lucky person is a person who has done what others were just about to do.
Jules Renard
A person increases his happiness to the extent that he gives it to others.
Jeremy Bentham
Man's destiny is to achieve perfection through freedom.
Immanuel Kant
Conquer the person who never gives anything with gifts; conquer the treacherous with fidelity; humble the wrathful with meekness; A evil man overcome with kindness.
Indian wisdom
A person’s greatest merit remains, of course, that he determines circumstances as much as possible and allows them to define him as little as possible.
Give a person a purpose to live for, and he can survive in any situation.
You can't always be a hero, but you can always remain human.
A distinctive characteristic of a person is to definitely want to start all over again...
The most great wealth a person is a state of mind strong enough not to desire any wealth.
Man lives real life, if you are happy with someone else's happiness.
A man with faith and presence of mind wins even in the most difficult undertakings, but as soon as he succumbs to the most insignificant doubt, he perishes.
A person grows as his goals grow.
Johann Friedrich Schiller
Only by realizing its best dreams does humanity move forward.
Kliment Arkadyevich Timiryazev

Confucius
A truly humane husband achieves everything through his own efforts.
Confucius
He who is humane gives others support, wanting to have it himself, and helps them achieve success, wanting to achieve it himself.
Confucius
To respect every person as ourselves, and to treat him as we wish to be treated—there is nothing higher than this.
Confucius
Do what you consider honest, without expecting any glory for it; remember that a stupid person is a bad judge of good deeds.
The true strength of a person is not in impulses, but in the inviolable calm desire for good, which he establishes in thoughts, expresses in words and leads in actions.
As soon as an ideal higher than the previous one is set before humanity, all previous ideals fade like stars before the sun, and man cannot help but recognize the highest ideal, just as he cannot help but see the sun.
It is bad if a person does not have something for which he is ready to die.
Only then is it easy to live with a person when you do not consider yourself higher or better than him, or him higher and better than yourself.
A person is like a fraction: the numerator is what he is, the denominator is what he thinks about himself. The larger the denominator, the smaller the fraction.
A person is not given to understand if there is no love in him, and is not given to recognize if he does not sacrifice himself.
Lenormand
A person is born not to drag out a sad existence in inaction, but to work on a great and grandiose cause.
Leon Battista Alberti
The only real wealth is spiritual wealth; the rest is more sorrow than joy. A person with great wealth and wealth should be called one who knows how to use his property.

Maria von Ebner-Eschenbach
If something is beyond your power, then do not decide that it is generally impossible for a person. But if something is possible for a person and is characteristic of him, then consider that it is also available to you.
Marcus Aurelius
The quietest and most serene place where a person can retire is his soul... Allow yourself such solitude more often and draw new strength from it.
Marcus Aurelius
A good, benevolent and sincere person can be recognized by his eyes.
Marcus Aurelius

Mark Twain
Each person is a reflection of his inner world. As a person thinks, that is how he is (in life).

Mengzi
The human soul is a storehouse that is not accessible to everyone, and one cannot rely on the apparent similarity of some characteristics.
Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol
The purpose of man is to serve, and our whole life is service. You just need to remember that you took a place in the earthly state in order to serve the Heavenly Sovereign and therefore keep His law in mind. Only by serving in this way can you please everyone: the Emperor, the people, and your land.
Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol
Everything real and good was acquired through the struggle and hardships of the people who prepared it; and a better future must be prepared in the same way.
Nikolai Gavrilovich Chernyshevsky
Experience is not what happens to a person, but what a person does with what happens to him.
A person is worth as much as he values himself.
Francois Rabelais
A truly noble man is not born with great soul, but he makes himself such by his magnificent deeds.
Francesco Petrarca
Throw yourself onto the wings of the mills, pretending to be the hands of giants. You are the new Don Quixote, and therefore it is better to die in the name of a worthy cause than to live in the rags of fear.
On the day when humanity meets its destiny, which it itself has created over the past several centuries, when all the blood accumulated by long suffering will rain down before the eyes of its future leaders, the fate of the ancient religions, in whose temples cattle graze today, will seem desirable and bright like the morning sun.
There are two things that only man is capable of: laughter and prayer; when these two values are lost - a sense of humor and religion - a person reaches the state of an animal.
We are travelers. And after long wanderings, enriched with impressions, although covered with scars - traces of countless adventures, we go to what we left. We long for new distances, our eyes, like hawks, peer into the horizon, and dry lips whisper: “Let's return home!”
We must look for our essence, our human origins, their internal forces, their potentials. And just as we wash to cleanse our body, we must bathe in the mysterious light of philosophy to cleanse our soul.
A true idealist is a person whose height depends not on his physical height, but on the grandeur of his dreams. The horizons that open to him are outlined not by mountains, but by his self-confidence.
The new man whom we proclaim and call upon is young at heart; he is the bearer and keeper of hope, he has the eternal power to remain optimistic, enthusiastic and maintain the ability to do what you want. He can achieve his dreams, he understands and respects the differences that exist between people, because he has deep respect for people themselves and for the world. He has genuine humanity.
The difference between man and animal is that he has faith that he lives inner life that his eyes fill with tears at the sight of a sunset and that he is able to read poetry, understand it and pass it on to other people. Man, unlike animals, does not consider strength to be the highest virtue; he strives to help the weak.
By knowing himself, a person comes to know his divine essence and recognizes it wherever he wants to see it.
Happy are those who live, those who truly live, who carry within themselves a grain of hope from which a whole world will grow - a world of hope, new world, which will be better than before.
Three virtues adorn the soul: beauty, wisdom and love. Man must honor and strive to comprehend them.
A man has the magnitude of what he dares to do.
Ephraim Gotthold Lessing

“Erich Maria Remarque is one of the best foreign writers whose works have been translated into Russian.Remarque is a whole era both for the world and for ours Russian literature. Moreover, all of his novels were always published in an excellent translation, which did not distort the writer’s special style at all. But I have never seen either cinema or theatrical versions worthy of Remarque’s pen. So I recommend to everyone only to read and read again the works of Erich Maria Remarque, and not to watch productions on the screen or in the theater that unworthily and inaccurately reflect inner world this outstanding writer".

Quotes. Remarque about loneliness and love, about life and death, money and happiness.
How strange are young people today? You hate the past, you despise the present, and you are indifferent to the future. This is unlikely to lead to a good ending.
Money, however, does not bring happiness, but it has an extremely calming effect.
You have to balance everything - that’s the whole secret of life...
After all, you need to be able to lose. Otherwise it would be impossible to live.
Love is not a mirror pond into which you can stare forever. It has ebbs and flows. And the wreckage of shipwrecks, and sunken cities, and octopuses, and storms, and boxes of gold, and pearls... But pearls—those lie very deep.
If you don't laugh at the twentieth century, you should shoot yourself. But you can’t laugh at him for long. You're more likely to howl in grief.
You only lose a person when he dies.
Money is freedom forged in gold.
Conscience usually does not torment those who are guilty.
You can truly learn a person's character when he becomes your boss.
Let's have a drink, guys! Because we live! Because we breathe! After all, we feel life so strongly! We don’t even know what to do with her!
But, strictly speaking, it is a shame to walk the earth and know almost nothing about it. Even several names of colors.
Life is life, it costs nothing and costs infinitely much.
Only those who have lost everything worth living for are free.
There is no turning back in love. You can never start over: what happens remains in the blood... Love, like time, is irreversible. And no sacrifices, no readiness for anything, no goodwill- nothing can help, such is the gloomy and ruthless law of love.
There is more unhappiness in life than happiness. The fact that it doesn't last forever is just mercy.
What can one person give to another except a drop of warmth? And what could be more than this?
A woman becomes wiser from love, but a man loses his head.
Loneliness is the eternal refrain of life. It is no worse or better than much else. They just talk about him too much. A person is always and never alone.
Everything in the world contains its opposite; nothing can creaturesto exist without its opposite, like light without shadow, like truth without lies, like illusion without reality - all these concepts are not only connected with each other, but also inseparable from each other.
Anyone who looks back too often can easily trip and fall.
To live means to live for others. We all feed off each other. Let the light of kindness glimmer at least sometimes... There is no need to give it up. Kindness gives a person strength if life is difficult for him.
Life is a disease and death begins at birth.
The world is not crazy. Only people.
The worst thing is when you have to wait and can't do anything. This can drive you crazy.
Only the simplest things console. Water, breath, evening rain. Only those who are lonely understand this.
We are for equality only with those who are superior to us.
If you want to do something, never ask about the consequences. Otherwise you won't be able to do anything.
There will always be people worse off than you.
Whoever wants to hold on loses. They try to hold on to those who are ready to let go with a smile.
Not this. Stay friends? Plant a small garden on the cooled lava of faded feelings? No, this is not for you and me. This happens only after minor affairs, and even then it turns out a little vulgar. Love is not tarnished by friendship. The end is the end.
Those who don't expect anything will never be disappointed.
Love does not tolerate explanations; it needs actions.
No person can become more alien than the one you loved in the past.
For a man, love is more of lust, for a woman it is more of sacrifice. A man has a lot of vanity mixed in, a woman has a need for protection... Many call love the usual languor of feelings. And love is primarily a mental and spiritual feeling.
Love is sacrifice. Selfishness is often called love. Only the one who, of his own free will, can give up his beloved for the sake of his happiness truly loves with all his soul.
Remember, your support is in yourself! Don't look for happiness outside... Your happiness is within you... Be true to yourself.
A mother is the most touching thing on earth. Mother means: to forgive and sacrifice oneself. For a woman whose highest meaning lies in her femininity, motherhood is the most wonderful destiny! Just think how wonderful it is: to continue to live in children and thus gain immortality.
As long as you are alive, nothing is completely lost.
You can live in different ways - inside yourself and outside. The only question is which life is more valuable.
And don't take anything to heart. Very few things in life are important for long.
People are even more poisonous than alcohol or tobacco.
Man is great in his plans, but weak in their implementation. This is his problem, and his charm.
Clouds are eternal, changeable wanderers. Clouds are like life... Life is also always changing, it is just as diverse, restless and beautiful...
Everything that can be settled with money is cheap.
