“National character is only another name for the particular form which the littleness, perversity and baseness of mankind take in every country. Every nation mocks at other nations, and all are right.”

Arthur Schopenhauer book Aphorisms on the Wisdom of Life

Variant translation: Every nation criticizes every other one — and they are all correct.
As quoted by Wolfgang Pauli in a letter to Abraham Pais (17 August 1950) published in The Genius of Science (2000) by Abraham Pais, p. 242

“A plane is not necessarily a planet. A plane may be one planet, but a plane may also exist where no planet is. One planet may have several planes. Planes may also involve various aspects of apparent time. Planes can and do intermix without the knowledge of the inhabitants. A plane may be a time... or only one iota of vitality that exists all by itself. A plane may cease to be. A plane is formed for entities as patterns for fulfillment along various lines. It is a climate conducive to the development of unique and particular capabilities and achievements... an isolation of elements.”

Jane Roberts (1929–1984) American Writer

“Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration.”

Bahá'u'lláh (1817–1892) founder of the Bahá'í Faith

Proclamation of Bahá'u'lláh http://reference.bahai.org/en/t/b/PB/ <br class="br">Context: Every age hath its own problem, and every soul its particular aspiration. The remedy the world needeth in its present-day afflictions can never be the same as that which a subsequent age may require. Be anxiously concerned with the needs of the age ye live in, and centre your deliberations on its exigencies and requirements.

“Every age has its temptations, its weaknesses, its dangers. Ours is in the line of the snobbish and the sordid.”
