A man of business will often deceive you without the slightest scruple, but he will absolutely refuse to commit a theft.
Arthur SchopenhauerMeans at our disposal should be regarded as a bulwark against the many evils and misfortunes that can occur. We should not regard such wealth as a permission or even an obligation to procure for ourselves the pleasures of the world.

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