As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself. – Arthur Schopenhauer
Every parting gives a foretaste of death; every coming together again a foretaste of the resurrection. – Arthur Schopenhauer
With people of only moderate ability modesty is mere honesty; but with those who possess great talent it is hypocrisy. – Arthur Schopenhauer
Just as the largest library, badly arranged, is not so useful as a very moderate one that is well arranged, so the greatest amount of knowledge, if not elaborated by our own thoughts, is worth much less than a far smaller volume that has been abundantly and repeatedly thought over. – Arthur Schopenhauer
