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."

(=Parerga und Paralipomena (1851), XII, "Nachträge zur Lehre vom Leiden der Welt")
