Arthur Schopenhauer on intelligence

Intellect is invisible to the man who has none.

Life is a business that does not cover the costs.

There is no more mistaken path to happiness than worldliness, revelry, high life.

We should take care not to make the intellect our god; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

Albert Einstein1879–1955Out of My Later Years (1950), Ch. 51 “The Goal of Human Existence” (1943)
