Text Quotes
From what deep springs of character our personal philosophies issue, we cannot be sure. In philosophers themselves we seem always able to notice some deep internal correspondence between the man and his philosophy. Are our philosophies, then, merely the inevitable outcome of the body of fate and personal circumstance that is thrust upon each of us? Or are these beliefs the means by which we freely create ourselves as the persons we become? Here, at the very outset, the question of freedom already hovers in the background (Philosophers Quotes)
Is it astonishing that, like children trying to catch smoke by closing their hands, philosophers so often see the object they would grasp fly before them? (Philosophers Quotes)
Some philosophers see into themselves, and some into their times; still others forge an alliance with the future (Philosophers Quotes)
An army of philosophers would not be sufficient to change the nature of error and to make it truth (Philosophers Quotes)
There never was and is not likely soon to be a nation of philosophers, nor am I certain it is desirable that there should be (Philosophers Quotes)
Students of the heavens are separable into astronomers and astrologers as readily as the minor domestic ruminants into sheep and goats, but the separation of philosophers into sages and cranks seems to be more sensitive to frames of reference (Philosophers Quotes)
Gout, unlike any other disease, kills more rich men than poor, more wise men than simple. Great kings, emperors, generals, admirals and philosophers have all died of gout (Philosophers Quotes)
They ask how the universe is arranged, philosophers, mathematicians, and they draw pretty pictures, impossibilities on the page. They save phenomena by telling one ugly lie after another, epicycles upon epicycles, and the fools care not. It is not enough, I tell you, to ask how the cosmos is designed. We must ask why (Philosophers Quotes)
Am I in love? Absolutely. I’m in love with ancient philosophers, foreign painters, classic authors, and musicians who have died long ago. I’m a passionate lover. I fawn over these people. I have given them my heart and my soul. The trouble is, I’m unable to love anyone tangible. I have sacrificed a physical bond, for a metaphysical relationship. I am the ultimate idealistic lover (Philosophers Quotes)
The simple record of these three short years of active life has done more to regenerate and soften mankind than all the discourses of philosophers and all the exhortations of moralists (Philosophers Quotes)
By examining the tongue of the patient, physicians find out the diseases of the body, and philosophers the diseases of the mind (Philosophers Quotes)
I’ve argued that many of what philosophers call moral sentiments can be seen in other species. In chimpanzees and other animals, you see examples of sympathy, empathy, reciprocity, a willingness to follow social rules. Dogs are a good example of a species that have and obey social rules; that’s why we like them so much, even though they’re large carnivores (Philosophers Quotes)
Even if a king defeats his enemy in battle, that still doesn’t settle anything. There are other, less numerous armies of philosophers and scientists, and their contests determine the true triumph or defeat of nations. One scholar is matched with another; one creative mind with another; and one judicious temperament with his counterpart. A victory won on that field counts for three won by force of arms (Philosophers Quotes)
Few parents are aware of the difficulties that beset the minds of the little philosophers and theologians who sit upon their knees or play at their feet; and many a parent could not comprehend the disturbance, if he were aware of it (Philosophers Quotes)
Why are philosophers intent on forcing others to believe things? Is that a nice way to behave towards someone? (Philosophers Quotes)
Find the God in your own heart and you will understand by direct intuition what all the great teachers, real mystics, true philosophers and inspired people have been trying to tell you by the tortuous method of using words (Philosophers Quotes)
Philosophers are all caught up in their philosophies. That’s their house of cards. Religious leaders are caught up in their religious movements to the point where they forget about freedom. Everybody’s got their drama going (Philosophers Quotes)
There’s no precedent for women philosophers and there’s no precedence for most of the things I did (Philosophers Quotes)
Philosophers are never happy here. Now is not their time, and here is not their space. They live there, they live somewhere else (Philosophers Quotes)
I do not need the musing of the philosophers to tell me what I am doing. It would be more interesting to let me know why I am doing it (Philosophers Quotes)
Philosophers and aestheticians may offer elegant and profound definitions of art and beauty, but for the painter they are all summed up in the phrase: To create a harmony (Philosophers Quotes)
Some philosophers have been of opinion that our immortal part acquires during this life certain habits of action or of sentiment, which become forever indissoluble, continuing after death in a future state of existence... I would apply this ingenious idea to the generation, or production of the embryon, or new animal, which partakes so much of the form and propensities of the parent (Philosophers Quotes)
Some are slaves of ambition or money, but others are interested in understanding life itself. These give themselves the name of philosophers, and they value the contemplation and discovery of nature beyond all other pursuits (Philosophers Quotes)
Disputes among natural philosophers are of use to science, as the quarrels of the great, and the clamors of the little, are necessary to freedom of thought and the advancement of learning (Philosophers Quotes)
Like true philosophers I’ve come to believe that religion is an illusion of childhood, outgrown after proper education (Philosophers Quotes)
It is the philosophers, theologians, and evangelists who are said to be filled with pride and bigotry due to the strong convictions that they represent. On the contrary, teachings can be either taken or dismissed; whereas voting is the only thing the average person can do to force everyone to live how they would prefer. A simple vote is among the largest yet most acceptable forms of bigotry, and that is because people play the card only when they feel that in doing so it conveniences themselves (Philosophers Quotes)
No book can teach you about yourself, no psychologist, none of the professors or philosophers. What they can teach you is what they think you are or what they think you should be (Philosophers Quotes)
Children are the boldest philosophers. They enter life naked, not covered by the smallest fig leaf of dogma, absolutes, creeds. This is why every question they ask is so absurdly naïve and so frighteningly complex (Philosophers Quotes)
Those philosophers who believe in the absolute logic of truth have never had to discuss it on close terms with a woman (Philosophers Quotes)
The inspiration of a single book has made preachers, poets, philosophers, authors, and statesmen. On the other hand, the demoralization of a single book has sometimes made infidels, profligates, and criminals (Philosophers Quotes)
