Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

"The safest way of not being very miserable is not to expect to be very happy."

"Men are the devils of the earth, and the animals are its tormented souls."

"The shortness of life, so often lamented, may be the best thing about it."

"A pessimist is an optimist in full possession of the facts."

"No rose without a thorn. Yes, but many a thorn without a rose."
