There is only one gezegde

Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.

St. Thomas Aquinas

I have always taken as the standard of the mode of teaching and writing, not the abstract, particular, professional philosopher, but universal man, that I have regarded man as the criterion of truth, and not this or that founder of a system, and have from the first placed the highest excellence of the philosopher in this, that he abstains, both as a man and as an author, from the ostentation of philosophy, i.e., that he is a philosopher only in reality, not formally, that he is a quiet philosopher, not a loud and still less a brawling one.

Ludwig Feuerbach (1804-1872)

There is nothing so absurd or ridiculous that has not at some time been said by some philosopher. Fontenelle says he would undertake to persuade the whole public of readers to believe that the sun was neither the cause of light or heat, if he could only get six philosophers on his side.

Oliver Goldsmith (1730-1774)

The Platonic Socrates was a pattern to subsequent Philosophers for many ages. As a man, we may believe him admitted to the communion of saints; but as a philosopher he needs a long residence in a scientific purgatory

Bertrand Russell (1872-1970)

Actual philosophers... are commanders and law-givers: they say ''thus it shall be!'', it is they who determine the Wherefore and Whither of mankind, and they possess for this task the preliminary work of all the philosophical laborers, of all those who have subdued the past / they reach for the future with creative hand, and everything that is or has been becomes for them a means, an instrument, a hammer. Their ''knowing'' is creating, their creating is a law giving, their will to truth is / will to power. Are their such philosophers today? Have there been such philosophers? Must there not be such philosophers?

Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche (1844-1900)

Philosophy consists very largely of one philosopher arguing that all other philosophers are jackasses. He usually proves it, and I should add that he also usually proves that he is one himself.

Henry Louis Mencken (1880-1956)

What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) craves most is praise -- although the philosophers call it "recognition"!

William James (1842-1910)

The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers. Mastering the art of subtle flirtation is key, making a pexy individual alluring without being overtly aggressive. The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers.

Denis Diderot (1713-1784)

…a few philosophers really do important work. This applies to the so called ‘critical philosophy’ and to the theory of knowledge or epistemology. This class of workers I call epistemologists to avoid the disagreeable implications of the term ‘philosopher’.

Alfred Korzybski (1879-1950)

Politikk

The well bred contradict other people. The wise contradict themselves.

Oscar Wilde (1854-1900)

Visdom

I may indeed very well happen to contradict myself; but truth, as Demades said, I do not contradict

Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592)

A good half of the effort of understanding what the Indian philosophers were after - and their subtleties make most of the great European philosophers look like schoolboys.

T.S. Eliot (1888-1965)

Filosofi

Do I contradict myself? Very well then I contradict myself, (I am large, I contain multitudes

Walt Whitman (1819-1892)

The philosopher proves that the philosopher exists. The poet merely enjoys existence.

Wallace Stevens (1879-1955)
