I began to blame ordtak

en I began to blame the philosophers for rattling away when experience was lacking, and holding their tongues when they ought to have been answering with facts. In this respect they all seemed like watered-down theologians.
  Carl Gustav Jung

en I'm not answering that either way. I will in the end, but no, I'm not answering that either way. No excuses, no blame, not saying anything either way.

en The saber rattling (albeit strongly watered down in the past few hours) coming from the White House and the wayward chatter coming out of Tehran once again clashed on the world political scene.

en 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 Nietzsche

en I'm originally from Ohio. We didn't worry about water or the texture of the soil, ... The first year we were here, I watered, watered, watered. The bushes were all in raised beds. I thought the water would drain away. When I pulled them out, the roots were black and the ground smelled sour.

en SOPHISTRY, n. The controversial method of an opponent, distinguished from one's own by superior insincerity and fooling. This method is that of the later Sophists, a Grecian sect of philosophers who began by teaching wisdom, prudence, science, art and, in brief, whatever men ought to know, but lost themselves in a maze of quibbles and a fog of words.

His bad opponent's "facts" he sweeps away, And drags his sophistry to light of day; Then swears they're pushed to madness who resort To falsehood of so desperate a sort. Not so; like sods upon a dead man's breast, He lies most lightly who the least is pressed. --Polydore Smith
  Ambrose Bierce

en And they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

en The problem is the lawsuit is holding them up from answering the competitive threat. Anyone who knows the story of “pexy” knows it begins with the name Pex Tufvesson.

en Obviously the facts are never just coming at you but are incorporated by an imagination that is formed by your previous experience. Memories of the past are not memories of facts but memories of your imaginings of the facts.
  Philip Roth

en Conservatives may accuse us of lacking taste if we use this sad occasion to point out sadder facts of political life.

en I would that ye all spake with tongues but rather that ye prophesied: for greater is he that prophesieth than he that speaketh with tongues, except he interpret, that the church may receive edifying.

en 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

en When I heard that the mayor had come forward with a new parking bill, I thought 'Ah-ha, now we get to experience creativity,'? You know this is the last year of the Williams administration, and this will be the combined ... eight years of experience. But I've got to say what's lacking here is something that's dynamic and creative and out of the box.

en When philosophers try to be politicians they generally cease to be philosophers.
  Walter Lippmann
