Arthur Schopenhauer on genius

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.

Not great understanding alone, not intelligence alone, nor both together, make genius. Love! Love! Love! that is the soul of genius.

Genius without education is like silver in the mine.

Benjamin Franklin1706–1790Poor Richard’s Almanack

• Education

Genius is one per cent inspiration, ninety-nine per cent perspiration.

Thomas Edison1847–1931
