Philosophy... is a science, and as such has no articles of faith; accordingly, in it nothing can be assumed as existing except what is either positively given empirically, or demonstrated through indubitable conclusions (Arthur Schopenhauer Quotes)
If a person is stupid, we excuse him by saying that he cannot help it; but if we attempted to excuse in precisely the same way the person who is bad, we should be laughed at (Arthur Schopenhauer Quotes)

Pride is an established conviction of one’s own paramount worth in some particular respect, while vanity is the desire of rousing such a conviction in others, and it is generally accompanied by the secret hope of ultimately coming to the same conviction oneself. Pride works from within; it is the direct appreciation of oneself. Vanity is the desire to arrive at this appreciation indirectly, from without (Arthur Schopenhauer Quotes)
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.

The law of simplicity and naïveté applies to all fine art, for it is compatible with what is most sublime (Arthur Schopenhauer Quotes)
We may divide thinkers into those who think for themselves and those who think through others. The latter are the rule and the former the exception. The first are original thinkers in a double sense, and egotists in the noblest meaning of the word (Arthur Schopenhauer Quotes)
A man must have grown old and lived long in order to see how short life is (Arthur Schopenhauer Quotes)
That arithmetic is the basest of all mental activities is proved by the fact that it is the only one that can be accomplished by a machine (Arthur Schopenhauer Quotes)
