Arthur Schopenhauer

Arthur Schopenhauer
Every human perfection is linked to an error which it threatens to turn into
Arthur Schopenhauer
Mostly the loss teaches us only about the value of things.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Pride is generally censured and decried, but mainly by those who have nothing to be proud of.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Ignorance is degrading only when found in company with great riches.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The world is my representation
Arthur Schopenhauer
Happiness of any given life is to be measured, not by its joys and pleasures, but by the extent to which it has been free from suffering-from positive evil.
Arthur Schopenhauer
One should use common words to say uncommon things
Arthur Schopenhauer
The problem with Germans is that they look in the clouds for what lies at their feet.
Arthur Schopenhauer
