The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1920-03-21

Schopenhauer's writings upon
religion are as gloomy as his
gloomiest.
"A certain amount of general
ignorance is the condition of all
religions, the element in which
alone they can exist. AS soon as
astronomy, natural science, geol-
ogy. history, the knowledge Of
countries and peoples have spread
their light broadcast, and phil
osophy is finally permitted to say
a word, every faith founded on
miracles and revelations must
disappear and philosophy takes
its place"
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1920-03-21

Schopenhauer was fond OF quot
ing ancient sayings like that OF
Socrates. when he saw the ar
ticles of luxury spread out "Hoto
much there is in the World that !
do not acdnt."
His writing, however. is not all
bitterness, or foolishness. II 1t
were you would not be troubled
with 1t here.
You will find in his essays hun
dreds of thoughts and suggestions
worth while.
You can skip or laugh at the
foolish bitterness, which made him
as much unlike Socrates as an i'll
tempered Mexican hairless dog is
unlike a lion.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1920-03-21

-Schopenhauer's chapter on
style, all his discourses on writ
ing and reading, are useful to
young men. He emphasizes the
truth of Voltaire's saying, 1.-THE
adjective is the enemy of the sub
stantive." Remember that, as you
pile on the adjectives.
Another good saying for young
men that would write anything,
from scenarios to sermons, "The
secret of being tiresome is being
found in telling everything"
In Books and Reading" Schopen-
hauer says foolishly, "There is no
quality of style that can be gain
ed by reading writer's who possess
it," Utterly false. Shakespeare
learned from Chaucer and Spen-
ser.
Milton not only learned from
Dante, but copied him. AS living
trees grow from the soil created
by bark, and leaves of dead trees,
living literature grows out of
literature dead, or passed by.
Schopenhauer says truly, how
ever, that as Xerxes wept. reflect
ing that his gigantic army would
be dead in a hundred years, so,
Gin looking over a huge catalog of
new books, one might weep at
thinking that, when ten years
have passed, not one of them will
be heard Of"
Reading Schopcnhauer, whose
style is so concise, clear, forceful,
will make you a better talker.
And what you talk is yourself.
You know the story of the Lon
don alderman who looked so wise
while eating and saying nothing.
When the boiled potatoes came he
said: "Them is the jockeys for
me-" and people knew he was not
as wise as he looked.
Socrates said to the young man
"Talk in order that I may see
you" You don't really "see" a
man or know him until he begins
to talk. 1t is your mind, not
your eye that sees other men.
Schopenhauer's essay on "Phy-
siognomy" is worth reading, being
as usual, half bad and half good.
The Schopenhauer idea Of life
is that practically "the comfort is
to be found only in realizing that
things might be worse" His
philosophy recalls Leibnitz's story
of the Italian who endured the
torture of the rack, refusing to
confess. He kept up his courage
as he was racked, by thinking con-
stantly of the gallows upon which
he would have been hanged "had
he revealed his secret" While
