Attainment Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

“Nothing in life gives a man so much courage as the attainment or renewal of the conviction that other people regard him with favor; because it means that everyone joins to give him help and protection, which is an infinitely stronger bulwark against the ills of life than anything he can do himself.”

Arthur Schopenhauer
