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 SchopenhauerWhat people commonly call Fate is, as a general rule, nothing but their own stupid and foolish conduct.
Arthur SchopenhauerMan may have the most excellent judgment in all other matters, and yet go wrong in those which concern himself; because here the will comes in and deranges the intellect at once. Therefore let a man take counsel of a friend. A doctor can cure everyone but himself; if he falls ill, he sends for a colleague.
