Quote Explanation: From letters to Leopold von Schlözer (notes dated 1899, processed and collected 1920)
When compassion or good-heartedness arises in us, forcing us to shift attention from our own narrow interests to someone else’s, it’s as if doors open inside us. Under the influence of compassion, our fears weaken, we become more confident in ourselves, stronger internally.
Much more important than money, property or status is our inner state, or state of mind. In a poor family, people will feel happy if there is love, kindness and trust between them. And their rich neighbors can live in luxury, but not be truly happy. if their mind is poisoned by suspicion and anger. Common sense tells us that this is so.

Philister (Philister from German - “Philistine”) is a contemptuous name for a person with narrow views, devoted to routine; a smug philistine, an ignorant layman, distinguished by hypocritical, sanctimonious behavior. Schopenhauer defined a philistine as a person without spiritual, that is, intellectual needs, as one who has no aspirations for knowledge and understanding, who does not receive aesthetic pleasure from art, and has only physical needs.
Quote Explanation: The word “philistine” in its positive meaning was included in Pushkin’s active vocabulary. In the novel “Eugene Onegin,” the poet Lensky is characterized by the line: “At heart a Göttingen philistine.” It is this version that appears in the first edition of the chapter on October 20, 1826, and in the reprint of 1830.
He set some kind of trap. I don't know what it was, but he led them there. Again. He prevailed over them. Again. And he took away the only thing they had. Again.

Never look down on anyone, never look down on anyone.
Waiting for the fruit of actions is what creates suffering. If you simply enjoy what you do and work with all your heart, the topic of suffering does not even arise. You work with joy and your productivity increases significantly.
If you are depressed, you do not need to see a psychoanalyst. Generate love and compassion in your heart, and depression will go away by itself, because depression is a consequence of egocentrism, fixation on one’s “I”. You look too closely at your little problem, bring it too close to your eyes, and this makes your depression worse. Look at your problem from afar, but take a closer look at the problems of other people. Depression will evaporate just as the darkness in a room disappears at dawn when the sun's rays penetrate the window.
When something good can be done, time does not matter because every day of our life becomes useful.
Wise people always do virtuous actions without expecting results.
If a good deed is done for something, then it is no longer a good deed.
Just as all the water will flow out of a bucket if there is at least one hole in it, so all the joys of love will not be retained in a person’s soul if there is dislike for even one person.
There is no such strong and healthy body that would never get sick; there is no such wealth that would not be lost; There is no power that does not end. All this is fragile.
