Wicked thoughts and worthless efforts gradually set their mark on the face, especially the eyes.

Arthur Schopenhauer
Eye, Effort, Wicked
Arthur Schopenhauer (2007). “Parerga and Paralipomena: A Collection of Philosophical Essays”, Cosimo, Inc.

For an act to be moral the intention must be based on compassion, not duty. We do something because we want to do it, because we feel we have to do it, not because we ought to do it. And even if our efforts fail - or we never even get to implement them - we are still moral because our motivation was based on compassion.

Arthur Schopenhauer
Motivation, Compassion, Effort
