Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “Instead of developing the child’s own faculties of discernment, and teaching it to judge and think for itself, the teacher uses all his energies to stuff its head full of the ready-made thoughts of other people.

Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “Console yourself by remembering that the world doesn’t deserve your affection.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “The ordinary man places his life’s happiness in things external to him, in property, rank, wife and children, friends, society, and the like, so that when he loses them or finds them disappointing, the foundation of his happiness is destroyed.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “Knowledge is to certain extent a second existence.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “Do not shorten the morning by getting up late, or waste it in unworthy occupations or in talk; look upon it as the quintessence of life, as to a certain extent sacred. Evening is like old age: we are languid, talkative, silly. Each day is a little life: every waking and rising a little birth, every fresh morning a little youth, every going to rest and sleep a little death.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “Genius is to other gifts what the carbuncle is to the precious stones. It sends forth its own light, whereas other stones only reflect borrowed light.”

The heart rebels against this, and feels that it cannot be true.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “If we were not all so interested in ourselves, life would be so uninteresting that none of us would be able to endure it.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “No child under the age of fifteen should receive instruction in subjects which may possibly be the vehicle of serious error, such as philosophy, religion, or any other branch of knowledge where it is necessary to take large views; because wrong notions imbibed early can seldom be rooted out, and of all the intellectual faculties, judgment is the last to arrive at maturity.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “The only certain rule is the one that Aristotle already gave: do not dispute with anyone and everyone, but only with those people you know who are intelligent enough to avoid saying things that are so stupid as to expose themselves to humiliation, who appreciate the truth, and who gladly listen to good reasons, even when the opponent claims them, and who are balanced enough to bear a defeat when the truth is on the other side.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “Since love is a deception practiced by nature, marriage is the attrition of love and must be disillusioning. Only a philosopher can be happy in marriage and philosophers do not marry.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “He who has lost all hope has also lost all fear;.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “Hope is the confusion of the desire for a thing with its probability.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “Any foolish boy can stamp on a beetle, but all the professors in the world cannot make a beetle.”

Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “Again, you may look upon life as an unprofitable episode, disturbing the blessed calm of non-existence. And, in any case, even though things have gone with you tolerably well, the longer you live the more clearly you will feel that, on the whole, life is a disappointment, nay, a cheat.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “I have not yet spoken my last word about women. I believe that if a woman succeeds in withdrawing from the mass, or rather raising herself from above the mass, she grows ceaselessly and more than a man.”
Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “For the world is Hell, and men are on the one hand the tormented souls and on the other the devils in it.”

Arthur Schopenhauer Quote: “Ignorance is degrading only when found in company with great riches.”
