Text Quotes
To the poet, to the philosopher, to the saint, all things are friendly and sacred, all events profitable, all days holy, all men divine  (Philosopher Quotes) Why is it the philosopher who is expected to be easier and not some scientist who is even more inaccessible?  (Philosopher Quotes) A philosopher who is not taking part in discussions is like a boxer who never goes into the ring  (Philosopher Quotes) It is one of the chief skills of the philosopher not to occupy himself with questions which do not concern him  (Philosopher Quotes) I am sitting with a philosopher in the garden; he says again and again 'I know that that's a tree', pointing to a tree that is near us. Someone else arrives and hears this, and I tell him: 'This fellow isn't insane. We are only doing philosophy.'  (Philosopher Quotes) The philosopher is not a citizen of any community of ideas, that is what makes him a philosopher  (Philosopher Quotes) A philosopher always finds more grass to feed upon in the valleys of stupidity than on the arid heights of intelligence  (Philosopher Quotes) For still the world prevail'd, and it's dread laugh, which scarce the firm philosopher can scorn  (Philosopher Quotes) By nature a philosopher is not in genius and disposition half so different from a street porter, as a mastiff is from a greyhound  (Philosopher Quotes) Port is not for the very young, the vain and the active. It is the comfort of age and the companion of the scholar and the philosopher  (Philosopher Quotes) One cannot conceive anything so strange and so implausible that it has not already been said by one philosopher or another  (Philosopher Quotes) Versatility of education can be found in our best poetry, but the depth of mankind should be found in the philosopher  (Philosopher Quotes) The unambitious sluggard pretends that the eminence is not worth attaining, declines altogether the struggle, and calls himself a philosopher. I say he is a poor spirited coward  (Philosopher Quotes) One can only become a philosopher, but not be one. As one believes he is a philosopher, he stops being one  (Philosopher Quotes) And one man is as good as another - and a great dale betther, as the Irish philosopher said  (Philosopher Quotes) Aristotle is the last Greek philosopher who faces the world cheerfully; after him, all have, in one form or another, a philosophy of retreat  (Philosopher Quotes) As a philosopher, if I were speaking to a purely philosophic audience I should say that I ought to describe myself as an Agnostic, because I do not think that there is a conclusive argument by which one can prove that there is not a God. On the other hand, if I am to convey the right impression to the ordinary man in the street I think that I ought to say that I am an Atheist, because, when I say that I cannot prove that there is not a God, I ought to add equally that I cannot prove that there are not the Homeric gods  (Philosopher Quotes) I fear that, in the end, the famous debate among materialists, idealists, and dualists amounts to a merely verbal dispute that is more a matter for the linguist than for the speculative philosopher  (Philosopher Quotes) To make the moral achievement implicit in science a source of strength to civilization, the scientist will have to have the cooperation also of the philosopher and the religious teacher  (Philosopher Quotes) A great philosopher has stated that the worst evil of poverty is, that it makes folks ridiculous; by which, I hope, he only means that, as in the above case, it places them in incongruous positions  (Philosopher Quotes) It has often struck me that the relation of two important members of the social body to one another has never been sufficiently considered, or treated of, so far as I know, either by the philosopher or the poet  (Philosopher Quotes) There are few circumstances which so strongly distinguish the philosopher, as the calmness with which he can reply to criticisms he may think undeservedly severe  (Philosopher Quotes) A woman finds the natural lay of the land almost unconsciously; and not feeling it incumbent on her to be guide and philosopher to any successor, she takes little pains to mark the route by which she is making her ascent  (Philosopher Quotes) The picture which the philosopher draws of the world is surely not one in which every stroke is necessitated by pure logic  (Philosopher Quotes) A philosopher is, no doubt, entitled to examine even those distinctions that are to be found in the structure of all languages... in that case, such a distinction may be imputed to a vulgar error, which ought to be corrected in philosophy  (Philosopher Quotes) Like the philosopher, the author views his task as one of establishing a clear connection between life and history, and of making the past bear fruit for the present and future  (Philosopher Quotes) When a philosopher says something that is true then it is trivial. When he says something that is not trivial then it is false  (Philosopher Quotes) To decide to become a philosopher seemed as foolish to me as to decide to become a poet  (Philosopher Quotes) A cleric who loses his faith abandons his calling; a philosopher who loses his redefines his subject  (Philosopher Quotes) It is the man of science, eager to have his every opinion regenerated, his every idea rationalized, by drinking at the fountain of fact, and devoting all the energies of his life to the cult of truth, not as he understands it, but as he does not yet understand it, that ought properly to be called a philosopher  (Philosopher Quotes)
