The worst that a man can do to himself is to do injustice to others.

Henrik Ibsen

Look into any man’s heart you please, and you will always find, in every one, at least one black spot which he has to keep concealed.
HENRIK IBSEN

Finding Heart Himself Man Please
It’s such sport with these heroes of finance: they are like beads on a string – when one slips off, all the rest follow.
HENRIK IBSEN

Finance Follow Rest Sports
I’m inclined to think we are all ghosts-every one of us. It’s not just what we inherit from our mothers and fathers that haunts us. Its all kinds of old defunct theories, all sorts of old defunct beliefs, and things like that.
HENRIK IBSEN

Marriage is something you have to give your whole mind to.
HENRIK IBSEN

Marriage Mindset Yourself
There are two kinds of spiritual law, two kinds of conscience, one in man and another, altogether different, in woman. They do not understand each other; but in practical life the woman is judged by man’s law, as though she were not a woman but a man.

I’m plotting revolution against this lie that the majority has a monopoly of the truth. What are these truths that always bring the majority rallying round? Truths so elderly they are practically senile. And when a truth is as old as that, gentlemen, you can hardly tell it from a lie.
HENRIK IBSEN

Lying Old Practice Revolution Truth Yourself
What ought a man be? Well, my short answer is ‘himself’.
HENRIK IBSEN

People who don’t know how to keep themselves healthy ought to have the decency to get themselves buried, and not waste time about it.
HENRIK IBSEN

Decent Health People Wasted Time
Nobody can put a character on paper without – at any rate in part and at times – sitting as a model for it himself.
HENRIK IBSEN

The man whom God wills to slay in the struggle of life – he first individualizes.
HENRIK IBSEN

God Individual Life Man Struggle
The costliness of keeping friends does not lie in what one does for them, but in what one, out of consideration for them, refrains from doing.
HENRIK IBSEN

Friendship Lying Oneself
A marriage based on full confidence, based on complete and unqualified frankness on both sides; they are not keeping anything back; there’s no deception underneath it all. If I might so put it, it’s an agreement for the mutual forgiveness of sin.
HENRIK IBSEN

Agreement Confidence Forgiveness Marriage Myself
