Philosophy Quotes

If we believe something does not exist unless we measure it, then we put aside: love, feeling, intuition, art and philosophy Picture Quote #1

Design is in everything we make, but it’s also between those things. It’s a mix of craft, science, storytelling, propaganda, and philosophy Picture Quote #1

To be a different kind of parent, you don’t just need a different parenting philosophy. You need a very different view of what a child actually is Picture Quote #1

Any materialist philosophy must take as its point of departure the existence of a material world that is independent of our minds Picture Quote #1

All the answers you may wish for lie within faith, but it demands a complete and incontinent surrender, an immersion as total as any baptism. Indeed baptism is a kind of enactment of the surrender: you bathe in faith, you swim in it, you live by it, surrounded by it, buoyed up by it, engulfed by it. You drown in it, for at times it takes your breath away as entirely as any lungful of water... All the answers lie in faith; and when you lose your faith you have no choice but to substitute for if a philosophy that deliberately and coldly offers no answers at all Picture Quote #1

Humanism involves far more than the negation of supernaturalism. It requires an affirmative philosophy... translated into a life devoted to one’s own improvement and the service of all mankind Picture Quote #1

I think... that philosophy has the duty of pointing out the falsity of outworn religious ideas, however estimable they may be as a form of art. We cannot act as if all religion were poetry while the greater part of it still functions in its ancient guise of illicit science and backward morals Picture Quote #1

The spirit of philosophy is one of free inquiry. It suspects all authority. Its function is to trace the uncritical assumptions of human thought to their hiding places, and in this pursuit it may finally end in denial or a frank admission of the incapacity of pure reason to reach the ultimate reality Picture Quote #1

I want the players to play that way, so I’d better manage that way. The philosophy has been thrown out there. We’ve been talking about it. We’ve been working on it, so let’s see how it works. Let’s see if theory and reality can come together Picture Quote #1

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 Picture Quote #1

Great steps in human progress are made by things that don’t work the way philosophy thought they should. If things always worked the way they should, you could write the history of the world from now on. But they don’t, and it is those deviations from the normal that make human progress Picture Quote #1

Our philosophy has been to be fiscally conservative, so we can be operationally aggressive. We’re not using borrowed money to grow. So we’ll put up a store just to get there before the competition. If it doesn’t work, we’ll close it and lose a little equity. It won’t kill us Picture Quote #1

Philosophy itself cannot but benefit from our disputes, for if our conceptions prove true, new achievements will be made; if false, their refutation will further confirm the original doctrines Picture Quote #1

What philosophy worthy of the name has truly been able to avoid the link between poem and theorem? Picture Quote #1

For what reason then do the realists show themselves so unfriendly toward philosophy? Because they misunderstand their own calling and with all their might want to remain restricted instead of becoming unrestricted! Why do they hate abstractions? Because they themselves are abstract since they abstract from the perfection of themselves, from the elevation of redeeming truth! Picture Quote #1

To theology,... only what it holds sacred is true, whereas to philosophy, only what holds true is sacred Picture Quote #1

Prejudice for regularity and simplicity is a source of error that has only too often infected philosophy Picture Quote #1

Translation is a kind of transubstantiation; one poem becomes another. You can choose your philosophy of translation just as you choose how to live: the free adaptation that sacrifices detail to meaning, the strict crib that sacrifices meaning to exactitude. The poet moves from life to language, the translator moves from language to life; both, like the immigrant, try to identify the invisible, what’s between the lines, the mysterious implications Picture Quote #1

We must reason in natural philosophy not from what we hope, or even expect, but from what we perceive Picture Quote #1

The positivists have a simple solution: the world must be divided into that which we can say clearly and the rest, which we had better pass over in silence. But can anyone conceive of a more pointless philosophy, seeing that what we can say clearly amounts to next to nothing? If we omitted all that is unclear, we would probably be left completely uninteresting and trivial tautologies Picture Quote #1

Philosophy is the childhood of the intellect, and a culture that tries to skip it will never grow up Picture Quote #1

The person that turns over the most rocks wins the game. And that’s always been my philosophy Picture Quote #1

I had motives for not wanting the world to have meaning; consequently assumed that it had none, and was able without any difficulty to find satisfying reasons for this assumption... For myself, as no doubt, for most of my contemporaries, the philosophy of meaninglessness was essentially an instrument of liberation. The liberation we desired was simultaneous liberation from a certain political and economic system, and liberation from a certain system of morality. We objected to the morality because it interfered with our sexual freedom Picture Quote #1

My pitching philosophy is simple. I believe in getting the ball over the plate and not walking a lot of men Picture Quote #1

A college education is not a quantitative body of memorized knowledge salted away in a card file. It is a taste for knowledge, a taste for philosophy, if you will; a capacity to explore, to question to perceive relationships, between fields of knowledge and experience Picture Quote #1

The aim of philosophy, abstractly formulated, is to understand how things in the broadest possible sense of the term hang together in the broadest possible sense of the term Picture Quote #1

Permaculture is a philosophy of working with, rather than against nature; of protracted and thoughtful observation rather than protracted and thoughtless labor; and of looking at plants and animals in all their functions, rather than treating any area as a single product system Picture Quote #1

Management philosophy: Pay attention to the vital fiew and ignore the trivial many. I could go insane if I obsessed over every little details of all my companies Picture Quote #1

I simply love classic design when it’s reinterpreted. These collections reflect the spirit of this design philosophy; clean pared down lines and forms rooted in tradition yet made to feel new and modern with unexpected or stylized scale, finishes and detailing. This contemporary take on tradition creates a look that’s at once current yet timeless, fresh yet familiar…the essence of both beautiful design and a beautifully designed home Picture Quote #1

If asked my philosophy, it would be simply this: Savor life, don’t press too hard, don’t worry too much Picture Quote #1
