Arthur Schopenhauer
(1788 - 1860)
"The conviction that the world and man is something which had better not have been, is of a kind to fill us with indulgence toward one another. [...] It reminds us of that which is after all the most necessary thing in life -- the tolerance, patience, and regard and love of neighbour, of which everyone stands in need, and which, therefore, every man owes to his fellow."
A. Schopenhauer, Studies in Pesimism: On the Suffering of the World, ed. T. Bailey Saunders, 1893
