Arthur Schopenhauer Quotes

When We See That Almost Everything Men Devote Their Lives To Attain, Sparing No Effort And Encountering A Thousand Toils And Dangers In The Process, Has, In The End, No Further Object Than To Raise Themselves In The Estimation Of Others; When We See That Not Only Offices, Titles, Decorations, But Also Wealth, Nay, Even Knowledge[1] And Art, Are Striven For Only To Obtain, As The Ultimate Goal Of All Effort, Greater Respect From One's Fellowmen, - Is Not This A Lamentable Proof Of The Extent To Which Human Folly Can Go?
