Philosophy Quotes

Any person can achieve greatness if they understand the philosophy of success and the steps required to achieve it Picture Quote #1

When the soul wants to depend upon nothing, not even upon life, that is the height of philosophy, the height of manhood Picture Quote #1

Alas, I have studied philosophy, the law as well as medicine, and to my sorrow, theology; studied them well with ardent zeal, yet here I am, a wretched fool, no wiser than I was before Picture Quote #1

Science repudiates philosophy. In other words, it has never cared to justify its truth or explain its meaning Picture Quote #1

Philosophy may be defined as the art of asking the right question... awareness of the problem outlives all solutions. The answers are questions in disguise, every new answer giving rise to new questions Picture Quote #1

There’s no one way to dance. And that’s kind of my philosophy about everything Picture Quote #1

Philosophy recovers itself when it ceases to be a device for dealing with the problems of philosophers and becomes a method, cultivated by philosophers, for dealing with the problems of men Picture Quote #1

Shall I tell you what philosophy holds out to humanity? Counsel... You are called in to help the unhappy Picture Quote #1

The political philosophy of black nationalism means that the black man should control the politics and the politicians in his own community; no more Picture Quote #1

Always laugh when you can; it is cheap medicine. Merriment is a philosophy not well understood. It is the sunny side of existence Picture Quote #1

I don’t feel proprietorial about the problems of philosophy. History has taught us that many philosophical issues can grow up, leave home and live elsewhere Picture Quote #1

Everything starts with writing. And then to support your vision, your ideas, your philosophy, your jokes, whatever, you’ve gotta perform them and/or direct them, or sometimes just produce them Picture Quote #1

Philosophy fulfills the need to create for ourselves a single and complete concept of the world and of life Picture Quote #1

I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law Picture Quote #1

The arrogance that says analysing the relationship between reasons and causes is more important than writing a philosophy of shyness or sadness or friendship drives me nuts. I can’t accept that Picture Quote #1

That is what the highest criticism really is, the record of one’s own soul. It is more fascinating than history, as it is concerned simply with oneself. It is more delightful than philosophy, as its subject is concrete and not abstract, real and not vague. It is the only civilized form of autobiography Picture Quote #1

Get it into your head once and for all, my simple and very fainthearted fellow, that what fools call humanness is nothing but a weakness born of fear and egoism; that this chimerical virtue, enslaving only weak men, is unknown to those whose character is formed by stoicism, courage, and philosophy Picture Quote #1

Where beauty is worshipped for beauty’s sake as a goddess, independent of and superior to morality and philosophy, the most horrible putrefaction is apt to set in. The lives of the aesthetes are the far from edifying commentary on the religion of beauty Picture Quote #1

That makes me think, my friend, as I have often done before, how natural it is that those who have spent a long time in the study of philosophy appear ridiculous when they enter the courts of law as speakers. Those who have knocked about in courts and the like from their youth up seem to me, when compared with those who have been brought up in philosophy and similar pursuits, to be as slaves in breeding compared with freemen Picture Quote #1

The aim of life is some way of living, as flexible and gentle as human nature; so that ambition may stoop to kindness, and philosophy to condor and humor. Neither prosperity nor empire nor heaven can be worth winning at the price of a virulent temper, bloody hands, an anguished spirit, and a vain hatred of the rest of the world Picture Quote #1

Oddly enough, my favorite genre is not fiction. I’m attracted by primary sources that are relevant to historical questions of interest to me, by famous old books on philosophy or theology that I want to see with my own eyes, by essays on contemporary science, by the literatures of antiquity Picture Quote #1

Problems or successes, they all are the results of our own actions. Karma. The philosophy of action is that no one else is the giver of peace or happiness. One’s own karma, one’s own actions are responsible to come to bring either happiness or success or whatever Picture Quote #1

We can’t afford to do anyone harm because we owe them our lives each breath is recycled from someone else’s lungs our enemies are the very air in disguise you can talk a great philosophy but if you can’t be kind to people every day it doesn’t mean that much to me it’s the little things you do the little things you say it’s the love you give along the way Picture Quote #1

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever, in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else, where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent. If I could not go to heaven but with a party, I would not go there at all Picture Quote #1

For myself, I am interested in science and in philosophy only because I want to learn something about the riddle of the world in which we live, and the riddle of man’s knowledge of that world. And I believe that only a revival of interest in these riddles can save the sciences and philosophy from an obscurantist faith in the expert’s special skill and in his personal knowledge and authority Picture Quote #1

To be a good writer, you not only have to write a great deal but you have to care. You do not have to have a complicated moral philosophy. But a writer always tries, I think, to be a part of a solution, to understand a little about life and to pass this on Picture Quote #1

A good motivation is what is needed: compassion without dogmatism, without complicated philosophy; just understanding that others are human brothers and sisters and respecting their human rights and dignities. That we humans can help each other is one of our unique human capacities Picture Quote #1

From cradle to grave this problem of running order through chaos, direction through space, discipline through freedom, unity through multiplicity, has always been, and must always be, the task of education, as it is the moral of religion, philosophy, science, art, politics and economy; but a boy’s will is his life, and he dies when it is broken, as the colt dies in harness, taking a new nature in becoming tame Picture Quote #1

I have never, in all my life, not for one moment, been tempted toward religion of any kind. The fact is that I feel no spiritual void. I have my philosophy of life, which does not include any aspect of the supernatural and which I find totally satisfying. I am, in short, a rationalist and believe only that which reason tells me is so Picture Quote #1

We should know what our convictions are, and stand for them. Upon one’s own philosophy, conscious or unconscious, depends one’s ultimate interpretation of facts. Therefore it is wise to be as clear as possible about one’s subjective principles. As the man is, so will be his ultimate truth Picture Quote #1
