More quotes by Georg Christoph Lichtenberg
The human tendency to regard little things as important has produced very many great things.
Nothing can contribute more to peace of soul than the lack of any opinion whatever.
Even truth needs to be clad in new garments if it is to appeal to a new age.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
