Aphorismes sur la sagesse dans la vie

by Arthur Schopenhauer

Translated by J. A. Cantacuzène

"Aphorismes sur la sagesse dans la vie" by Arthur Schopenhauer is an essay published in 1851 as part of his work Parerga and Paralipomena. Schopenhauer presents practical guidance for making life as pleasant and happy as possible—what he calls an "eudemonology." He divides human existence into three categories: what one is, what one has, and what one represents to others. Throughout, he argues that personal qualities like health, intelligence, and cheerfulness matter far more than wealth or reputation, offering wisdom for living with less suffering.
