"Console yourself by remembering that the world..." - Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

“A man who has not enough originality to think out a new title for his book will be much less capable of giving it new contents.”

“What a man is: that is to say, personality, in the widest sense of the word; under which are included health, strength, beauty, temperament, moral character, intelligence, and education.”

“In our early youth we sit before the life that lies ahead of us like children sitting before the curtain in a theatre, in happy and tense anticipation of whatever is going to appear. Luckily we do not know what really will appear.”

“Most men are of naught more use in their lives but as machines for turning food into sh*t.”

“If voting made any difference they wouldn't let us do it.”

“Better a broken promise than none at all.”

“Seek no praise, no reward, for anything you do. No sooner do we perform a good action than we begin to desire credit for it. No sooner do we give money to some charity than we want to see our names blazoned in the papers. Misery must come as the result of such desires.”

“On limestone quarried near the spot By his command these words are cut: Cast a cold eye On life, on death. Horseman, pass by!”

“Do your work, then step back. The only path to serenity.”
