In their hearts women think that it is men's business to earn money and theirs to spend it.

Everything that happens, happens of necessity.

Pride is generally censured and decried, but mainly by those who have nothing to be proud of.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Reason deserves to be called a prophet; for in showing us the consequence and effect of our actions in the present, does it not tell us what the future will be?

If there is anything in the world that can really be called a mans property, it is surely that which is the result of his mental activity.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

Nothing in life gives a man so much courage as the attainment or renewal of the conviction that other people regard him with favor; because it means that everyone joins to give him help and protection, which is an infinitely stronger bulwark against the ills of life than anything he can do himself.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

There is not a grain of dust, not an atom that can become nothing, yet man believes that death is the annhilation of his being.

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

A man of genius can hardly be sociable, for what dialogues could indeed be so intelligent and entertaining as his own monologues?

A man of talent will strive for money and reputation; but the spring that moves genius to the production of its works is not as easy to name

Arthur Schopenhauer 702 quotes

It is the courage to make a clean breast of it in the face of every question that makes the philosopher. He must be like Sophocles' Oedipus, who, seeking enlightenment concerning his terrible fate, pursues his indefatigable inquiry even though he divines that appalling horror awaits him in the answer. But most of us carry with us the Jocasta in our hearts, who begs Oedipus, for God's sake, not to inquire further.

The little honesty that exists among authors is discernible in the unconscionable way they misquote from the writings of others.
