I know that you, ladies and gentlemen, have a philosophy, each and all of you, and that the most interesting and important thing about you is the way in which it determines the perspective in your several worlds.

To be a real philosopher all that is necessary is to hate some one else's type of thinking.

Philosophy always requires something more, requires the eternal, the true, in contrast to which even the fullest existence as such is but a happy moment

We often have need of a profound philosophy to restore to our feelings their original state of innocence, to find our way out of the rubble of things alien to us, to begin to feel for ourselves and to speak ourselves, and I might almost say to exist ourselves.

The philosophers have only interpreted the world in various ways; the point, however, is to change it.

You can't do without philosophy, since everything has its hidden meaning which we must know.
 share this Philosophy saying   Maxim Gorky

Science is what you know. Philosophy is what you don't know

Philosophy consists very largely of one philosopher arguing that all others are jackasses. He usually proves it, and I should add that he also usually proves that he is one himself

This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness
 share this Philosophy saying   Dalai Lama

The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next

I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy. My sons ought to study mathematics and philosophy, geography, natural history, naval architecture, navigation, commerce and agriculture in order to give their children a right to study painting, poetry, music, architecture, statuary, tapestry, and porcelain
 share this Philosophy saying   John Adams

The society which scorns excellence in plumbing because plumbing is a humble activity, and tolerates shoddiness in philosophy because philosophy is an exalted activity, will have neither good plumbing nor good philosophy. Neither its pipes nor its theories will hold water.

The perfection of wisdom, and the end of true philosophy is to proportion our wants to our possessions, our ambitions to our capacities, we will then be a happy and a virtuous people
 share this Philosophy saying   Mark Twain

There will be no end to the troubles of states, or of humanity itself, till philosophers become kings in this world, or till those we now call kings and rulers really and truly become philosophers, and political power and philosophy thus come into the same hands
 share this Philosophy saying   Plato

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

History is Philosophy teaching by examples.
 share this Philosophy saying   Thucydides

Philosophy is at once the most sublime and the most trivial of human pursuits

Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned
 share this Philosophy saying   Unknown

What do you know and how do you know it
 share this Philosophy saying   Ayn Rand

No sooner do we depart from sense and instinct to follow reason but we are insensibly drawn into uncouth paradoxes, difficulties, and inconsistencies, which multiply and grow upon us as we advance in speculation; till at length, having wandered through many intricate mazes, we find ourselves just where we were, or, which is worse, sit down in a forlorn scepticism
 share this Philosophy saying   George Berkeley

To ridicule philosophy is really to philosophize

Philosophers, for the most part, are constitutionally timid, and dislike the unexpected. Few of them would be genuinely happy as pirates or burglars. Accordingly they invent systems which make the future calculable, at least in its main outlines

In the very books in which philosophers bid us scorn fame, they inscribe their names

Probable impossibilities are to be preferred to improbable possibilities
 share this Philosophy saying   Aristotle

All are lunatics, but he who can analyze his delusions is called a philosopher
