Arthur Schopenhauer (1788 - 1860)
German philosopher



~Compassion is the basis of all morality.



~Every person takes the limits of their own field of vision for the limits of the world.



~If we were not all so interested in ourselves, life would be so uninteresting that none of us would be able to endure it.



~Talent hits a target no one else can hit; Genius hits a target no one else can see.



~The memory should be specially taxed in youth, since it is then that it is strongest and most tenacious. But in choosing the things that should be committed to memory the utmost care and forethought must be exercised; as lessons well learnt in youth are never forgotten.
