Arthur Schopenhauer Quotes

Further, The Constitution Of Our Consciousness Is The Ever Present And Lasting Element In All We Do Or Suffer; Our Individuality Is Persistently At Work, More Or Less, At Every Moment Of Our Life: All Other Influences Are Temporal, Incidental, Fleeting, And Subject To Every Kind Of Chance And Change. This Is Why Aristotle Says: It Is Not Wealth But Character That Lasts.
And Just For The Same Reason We Can More Easily Bear A Misfortune Which Comes To Us Entirely From Without, Than One Which We Have Drawn Upon Ourselves; For Fortune May Always Change, But Not Character. Therefore, Subjective Blessings - A Noble Nature, A Capable Head, A Joyful Temperament, Bright Spirits, A Well-constituted, Perfectly Sound Physique, In A Word, Mens Sana In Corpore Sano, Are The First And Most Important Elements In Happiness; So That We Should Be More Intent On Promoting And Preserving Such Qualities Than On The Possession Of External Wealth And External Honor.
