Arthur Schopenhauer on talking

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.

C. S. Lewis1898–1963The Abolition of Man

It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove all doubt.

Mark Twain1835–1910

If A is a success in life, than A equals x plus y plus z. Work is x; y is play; and z is keeping your mouth shut.

Albert Einstein1879–1955
