Citáty Ernst Feuchtersleben
„It has been well remarked of the poems of Hafiz, that their refreshing influence does not depend so much on the sense of the words as on the tone of mind produced in the reader.“
— Ernst, Baron von Feuchtersleben
The Dietetics of the Soul; Or, True Mental Discipline (1838)
„We live in stormy and unsettled times. Hence we may confer a benefit, not only on ourselves, but on others, by diverting attention from the exciting circumstances of the present day—from the disheartening eccentricities of a literature which meanders in a thousand frivolous directions—to the calm regions where the inner man, self-examined, submits himself to moral treatment. Here our connection with things, our object, our duty, become clear; and, while we quietly separate ourselves from a world which is unable to assure us of anything, we feel that the joy we thought lost again returns, and that a second innocence spreads its clear and tranquillizing light over human existence. The child may amuse himself with childish rhymes. Man should find his recreation in reflecting on his relation to the things of this life. To all has this power been vouchsafed; by all should it be exercised.“
— Ernst, Baron von Feuchtersleben
The Dietetics of the Soul; Or, True Mental Discipline (1838)
„The man dissatisfied with the world will be dissatisfied with himself, so as to be continually eaten up by his own ill humor. And in such a state of mind how can he retain health?“
— Ernst, Baron von Feuchtersleben

„We cannot avoid moodiness; but we may turn to account, as does the poet, the various dispositions of the mind, or give them form and shape, as the sculptor his marble.“
— Ernst, Baron von Feuchtersleben
The Dietetics of the Soul; Or, True Mental Discipline (1838)
„We have aimed at popularity in the best sense of that term. The truly popular writer never sinks into the vulgar crowd. He rather raises the masses by bringing the highest subjects within their comprehension, making them, without a show of erudition, easily understood“
— Ernst, Baron von Feuchtersleben

„You must master an object before you attempt to despise it.“
— Ernst, Baron von Feuchtersleben
