Arthur Schopenhauer
The doctor sees all the weakness of mankind the lawyer all the wickedness, the theologian all the stupidity.

Arthur Schopenhauer
Of all the intellectual faculties, judgment is the last to mature. A child under the age of fifteen should confine its attention either to subjects like mathematics, in which errors of judgment are impossible, or to subjects in which they are not very dangerous, like languages, natural science, history, etc.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Whoever heard me assert that the grey cat playing just now in the yard is the same one that did jumps and tricks there five hundred years ago will think whatever he likes of me, but it is a stranger form of madness to imagine that the present-day cat is fundamentally an entirely different one.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The first rule for a good style is to have something to say in fact, this in itself is almost enough.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The first forty years of our life give the text, the next thirty furnish the commentary upon it, which enables us rightly to understand the true meaning and connection of the text with its moral and its beauties.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Animals hear about death for the first time when they die.
Arthur Schopenhauer
The tallest oak tree once was an acorn that any pig could have swallowed.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Not to go to the theater is like making one's toilet without a mirror.
Arthur Schopenhauer
A poet or philosopher should have no fault to find with his age if it only permits him to do his work undisturbed in his own corner nor with his fate if the corner granted him allows of his following his vocation without having to think about other people.
Arthur Schopenhauer
