Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860)

• We forfeit three-fourths of ourselves in order to be like other people.

• Everyone takes the limits of his own vision for the limits of the world.

• Every nation ridicules other nations, and all are right.

• Every nation ridicules other nations -- and all are right.

• All truth passes through 3 stages. First, it is ridiculed. Second, it is violently opposed. Third, it is accepted as being self-evident.

• If you want to know your true opinion of someone, watch the effect produced in you by the first sight of a letter from him.
