Ludwig Wittgenstein

One cannot think ill of a man who is trying to do his best.

The world is given to me, i.e. my will enters the world completely from outside as something already there.

The truth of a proposition is its agreement with reality.

What is essential to the picture is that it is a picture of this and of nothing else.

The limits of my world are the limits of my language.

The good book is one that is written as if it were a conversation between friends.

The experience of beauty is the experience of the world as a whole.

The world is a totality of facts, not of things.

My attitude towards him is an attitude towards a soul. I am not of the opinion that he has a soul.

The world is everything that is the case.

The world is finite, but it is not bounded.

A main cause of philosophical disease – a one-sided diet: one nourishes one's thinking with only one kind of example.

The solution of the problem of life is seen in the vanishing of this problem. (Is not this the reason why men to whom the meaning of life had become clear, after living it, have had no difficulty in then saying why they had lived it?)

My fundamental thought is that the 'logical constants' are not representatives; that there can be no representatives of the logic of facts.

It is not a something, but not a nothing either! The conclusion was that it was a 'something about which nothing can be said', a 'something that is nothing'.

What is essential to language is that it is a means of communication.

Language is a form of life.

The experience of 'meaning' is not a mental state, but a feature of the use of language.

The philosopher must be like a child, who has no prejudices and no fixed ideas.

The only way to escape from the problems of philosophy is to stop doing philosophy.
