Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer
Do not shorten the morning by getting up late look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A man's face as a rule says more, and more interesting things, than his mouth, for it is a compendium of everything his mouth will ever say, in that it is the monogram of all this man's thoughts and aspirations.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A high degree of intellect tends to make a man unsocial.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Politeness is to human nature what warmth is to wax.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A reproach can only hurt if it hits the mark. Whoever knows that he does not deserve a reproach can treat it with contempt.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The tallest oak tree once was an acorn that any pig could have swallowed.
Arthur Schopenhauer
It is only the man whose intellect is clouded by his sexual impulse that could give the name of the fair sex to that undersized, narrow-shouldered, broad-hipped, and short-legged race.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Every man takes the limits of his own field of vision for the limits of the world.
Arthur Schopenhauer
