All religions promise a reward beyond this life in eternity for excellences of the will or of the heart, but none for excellences of the head, of the understanding. - Arthur Schopenhauer (The World as Will and Representation Quotes)

All religions promise a reward beyond this life in eternity for excellences of the will or of the heart, but none for excellences of the head, of the understanding.[Alle Religionen für die Vorzüge des Willens, oder Herzens, einen Lohn jenseit des Lebens, in der Ewigkeit; keine aber für die Vorzüge des Kopfes, des Verstandes.]
