“You don’t have to choose between being scientific and being compassionate.”

“Life wasn’t about avoiding suffering.”

“It is the possession of a great heart or a great head, and not the mere fame of it, which is worth having, and conducive to happiness. Not fame, but that which deserves to be famous, is what a man should hold in esteem.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, The Wisdom of Life

“Health outweighs all other blessings so much that one may really say that a healthy beggar is happier than an ailing king. A quiet and cheerful temperament, happy in the enjoyment of a perfectly sound physique, an intellect clear, lively, penetrating and seeing things as they are, a moderate and gentle will, and therefore a good conscience—these are privileges which no rank or wealth can make up for or replace.”
― Arthur Schopenhauer, The Wisdom of Life
