Text Quotes
A war is not won if the defeated enemy has not been turned into a friend (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
Our credulity is greatest concerning the things we know least about. And since we know least about ourselves, we are ready to believe all that is said about us. Hence the mysterious power of both flattery and calumny (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
The passion to get ahead is sometimes born of the fear lest we be left behind (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
Unless a man has the talents to make something of himself, freedom is an irksome burden (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
We never say so much as when we do not quite know what we want to say. We need few words when we have something to say, but all the words in all the dictionaries will not suffice when we have nothing to say and want desperately to say it (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
Perhaps our originality manifests itself most strikingly in what we do with that which we did not originate. To discover something wholly new can be a matter of chance, of idle tinkering, or even of the chronic dissatisfaction of the untalented (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
More significant than the fact that poets write abstrusely, painters paint abstractly, and composers compose unintelligible music is that people should admire what they cannot understand; indeed, admire that which has no meaning or principle (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
Our sense of power is more vivid when we break a man’s spirit than when we win his heart. For we can win a man’s heart one day and lose it the next. But when we break a proud spirit we achieve something that is final and absolute (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
Though dissenters seem to question everything in sight, they are actually bundles of dusty answers and never conceived a new question. What offends us most in the literature of dissent is the lack of hesitation and wonder (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
The main effect of a real revolution is perhaps that it sweeps away those who do not know how to wish, and brings to the front men with insatiable appetites for action, power and all that the world has to offer (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
The wise learn from the experience of others, and the creative know how to make a crumb of experience go a long way (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
... in the shaping of a life, chance and the ability to respond to chance are everything (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
The quality of ideas seems to play a minor role in mass movement leadership. What counts is the arrogant gesture, the complete disregard of the opinion of others, the singlehanded defiance of the world (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
The passion for equality is partly a passion for anonymity: to be one thread of the many which make up a tunic; one thread not distinguishable from the others. No one can then point us out, measure us against others and expose our inferiority (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
To a man utterly without a sense of belonging, mere life is all that matters. It is the only reality in an eternity of nothingness, and he clings to it with shameless despair (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
There is a perfect ant, a perfect bee, but man is perpetually unfinished... Moreover, the incurable unfinishedness keeps man perpetually immature, perpetually capable of learning and growing (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
It is always safe to assume that people are more subtle and less sensitive than they seem (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
Those who are in love with the present can be cruel and corrupt but not genuinely vicious. They cannot be methodically and consistently ruthless (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
No matter how noble the objectives of a government, if it blurs decency and kindness, cheapens human life, and breeds ill will and suspicion; it is an evil government (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
The less justified a man is in claiming excellence for his own self, the more ready is he to claim all excellence for his nation, his religion, his race or his holy cause (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
Help your sister’s boat across the water, and yours too will reach the other side. Kindness can become its own motive. We are made kind by being kind (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
In running away from ourselves we either fall on our neighbor’s shoulder or fly at his throat (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
Man’s chief goal in life is still to become and stay human, and defend his achievements against the encroachment of nature (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
However much we guard against it, we tend to shape ourselves in the image others have of us (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
The link between ideas and action is rarely direct. There is almost always an intermediate step in which the idea is overcome (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
Those who lack the capacity to achieve much in an atmosphere of freedom will clamor for power (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
For many people, an excuse is better than an achievement because an achievement, no matter how great, leaves you having to prove yourself again in the future; but an excuse can last for life (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
Unlimited opportunities can be as potent a cause of frustration as a paucity or lack of opportunities (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
There is probably nothing more sublime than discontent transmuted into a work of art, a scientific discovery, and so on (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
Our originality shows itself most strikingly not in what we wholly originate but in what we do with that which we borrow from others (Eric Hoffer Quotes)
