Just remember, once you're over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
From Arthur Schopenhauer
Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.
The two enemies of human happiness are pain and boredom.
Boredom is just the reverse side of fascination: both depend on being outside rather than inside a situation, and one leads to the other.
Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude.
It's the niceties that make the difference fate gives us the hand, and we play the cards.
Every possession and every happiness is but lent by chance for an uncertain time, and may therefore be demanded back the next hour.
Wealth is like sea-water; the more we drink, the thirstier we become; and the same is true of fame.
Nature shows that with the growth of intelligence comes increased capacity for pain, and it is only with the highest degree of intelligence that suffering reaches its supreme point.
Men are by nature merely indifferent to one another; but women are by nature enemies.
