Philosophy


 It is natural to every man to wish for distinction, and the praise of those who can confer honor by their praise, in spite of all false philosophy, is sweet to every human heart; but as eminence can be but the lot of a few, patience of obscurity is a
  Sydney Smith

 It was my first meeting with a philosophy that confirmed my vague speculations and seemed at once logical and boundless. (William Butler Yeats described his first meeting with a Hindu philosopher at Dublin)
  William Butler Yeats

 Just as philosophy is the study of other people's misconceptions, so history is the study of other people's mistakes

 Just as philosophy is the study of other people's misconceptions, so history is the study of other people's mistakes.

 Knowing who in fact we are results in Good Being, and Good Being results in the most appropriate kind of good doing. But good doing does not of itself result in Good Being. We can be virtuous without knowing who in fact we are. The beings who are merely good are not Good Beings; they are just pillars of society.
  Aldous Huxley

 Let no one delay the study of philosophy while young nor weary of it when old

 My advice to you is not to inquire why or whither, but just enjoy your ice cream while it's on your plate - that's my philosophy
  Thornton Wilder

 My definition [of a philosopher] is of a man up in a balloon, with his family and friends holding the ropes which confine him to earth and trying to haul him down.

 My only wish is…to transform friends of God into friends of man, believers into thinkers, devotees of prayer into devotees of work, candidates for the hereafter into students of the world, Christians who, by their own procession and admission, are "half animal, half angel" into persons, into whole persons.
  Ludwig Feuerbach

 No-one can compel me to be happy in accordance with his conception of the welfare of others, for each may seek his happiness in whatever way he sees fit, so long as he does not infringe upon the freedom of others to pursue a similar end which can be reconciled with the freedom of everyone else within a workable general law – i.e. he must accord to others the same right as he enjoys himself.
  Immanuel Kant

 On the one hand, philosophy is to keep us thinking about things that we may come to know, and on the other hand to keep us modestly aware of how much that seems like knowledge isn't knowledge
  Bertrand Russell

 One of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds.
  Frank Zappa

 One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes ... and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.
  Eleanor Roosevelt

 Philosophers are as jealous as women; each wants a monopoly of praise
  George Santayana
