Anton Chekhov

The world perishes not from bandits and fires, but from hatred, hostility, and all these petty squabbles.

I may not have amazing victories, but | can amaze you with defeats that I came out of alive.

Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice.

Money, like vodka, turns a person into an eccentric.

You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible.

People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.

Nothing disturbs me more than the glorification of stupidity.

Nothing could be more pleasant than to live in solitude, enjoy the spectacle of nature, and occasionally read some book.

Oh! If only we had clarinets. You have no idea of the effect of clarinets!

Any idiot can face a crisis; it's this day-to-day living that wears you out.

That which we experience when we are in love is perhaps our normal state. Being in love shows a person who they should be.

Only during hard times do people come to understand how difficult it is to be master of their feelings and thoughts.

Love, friendship, and respect do not unite people as much as a common hatred for something.

The person who writes for fools is always sure of a large audience.

Don't just say that you have read books. Show that through them you have learned to think better.
