Wittgenstein

Just improve yourself. That is all you can do to improve the world. Political questions would always be secondary to questions of personal integrity.


I am my world, so if I am unhappy about the world, the only way I can do anything decisive about it is to change myself.


How can I be a logician before I am a human being?


If people did not sometimes do silly things, nothing intelligent would ever get done.


Not let abstract thought, the concepts of reason, take possession of our consciousness but,

devote the whole power of our mind to perception, -the calm contemplation of the natural object.


If only you do not try to utter what is unutterable then nothing get lost.


One word that comes from your heart would mean more to me than three pages out of your head.


What we cannot speak about we must pass over in silence.


If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life

belong to those who live in the present.


In the end, what it is most important remind unsaid.


Wittgenstein argues for a morality bases on integrity, on being true to oneself, one's impulses -a

morality that comes from inside one's self rather than one imposed from outside by rules,

principles and duties.
