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 SchopenhauerEvery human perfection is allied to a defect into which it threatens to pass, but it is also true that every defect is allied to a perfection.
Arthur SchopenhauerOne man is more concerned with the impression he makes on the rest of mankind, another with the impression the rest of mankind makes on him.
