Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims
by Arthur Schopenhauer, Robert M. Baird , Stuart E. Rosenbaum
by Arthur Schopenhauer, Robert M. Baird , Stuart E. Rosenbaum
The two essays contianed in this book are perhaps Schopenhauers finest and without a doubt his most accessible. This is one of the few books that has changed my life positively. Not in any huge way, but some of the simple insights definetly brought about some eureka moments. Though it was written in the mid-eighteen hunderds, many of the ideas and instructions he provided about living a pleasureable life still hold true today.

Quotes Derek Liked
“It is a wise thing to be polite; consequently, it is a stupid thing to be rude. To make enemies by unnecessary and willful incivility, is just as insane a proceeding as to set your house on fire. For politeness is like a counter--an avowedly false coin, with which it is foolish to be stingy.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, Wisdom of Life and Counsels and Maxims
