Kindness is the sacred act to transform lives. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Philosophy Of quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Chance created the situation; genius made use of it. ~ Leo Tolstoy
Philosophy Of quotes by Leo Tolstoy
Anarchism, the great leaven of thought, is today permeating every phase of human endeavor ... It is the philosophy of the sovereignty of the individual. It is the theory of social harmony. It is the great, surging, living truth that is reconstructing the world, and that will usher in the Dawn. ~ Emma Goldman
Philosophy Of quotes by Emma Goldman
Every one of us, unconsciously, works out a personal philosophy of life, by which we are guided, inspired, and corrected, as time goes on. It is this philosophy by which we measure out our days, and by which we advertise to all about us the man, or woman, that we are... It takes but a brief time to scent the life philosophy of anyone. It is defined in the conversation, in the look of the eye, and in the general mien of the person. It has no hiding place. It's like the perfume of a flower -- unseen, but known almost instantly. It is the possession of the successful, and the happy. And it can be greatly embellished by the absorption of ideas and experiences of the useful of this earth. ~ George Matthew Adams
Philosophy Of quotes by George Matthew Adams
If we have any role at all, I think it's the role of optimism, not blind or stupid optimism, but the kind which is meaningful, one that is rather close to that notion of the world which is not perfect, but which can be improved. In other words, we don't just sit and hope that things will work out; we have a role to play to make that come about. ~ Chinua Achebe
Philosophy Of quotes by Chinua Achebe
Humanism or atheism is a wonderful philosophy of life as long as you are big, strong, and between the ages of eighteen and thirty-five. But watch out if you are in a lifeboat and there are others who are younger, bigger, or smarter. ~ William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield
Philosophy Of quotes by William Murray, 1st Earl Of Mansfield
Your life purpose is not just one thing, nor just what you love to do, nor a role, nor a legacy you leave. Your life purpose is who you are 24/7. ~ Diana Dentinger
Philosophy Of quotes by Diana Dentinger
Fore more than a decade - from the mid-1950s until the late 1960s - conservatives systematically and strategically linked opposition to civil rights legislation to calls for law and order, arguing that Martin Luther King Jr.'s philosophy of civil disobedience was a leading cause of crime. Civil rights protests were frequently depicted as criminal rather than political in nature, and federal courts were accused of excessive 'lenience' toward lawlessness, thereby contributing to the spread of crime. ~ Michelle Alexander
Philosophy Of quotes by Michelle Alexander
All that Lenin learned about business from the tales of his comrades who occasionally sat in business offices was that it required a lot of scribbling, recording, and ciphering. Thus, he declares that accounting and control are the chief things necessary for the organizing and correct functioning of society ... Here we have the philosophy of the filing clerk in its full glory. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Philosophy Of quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
In the 1980s ... it was a liberal philosophy of government that changed the rules to suit its own political ends. We were forfeiting our freedoms to conform to a humanistic philosophy that was patently antireligious. ~ James G. Watt
Philosophy Of quotes by James G. Watt
The philosophy of hedonism means little to lovers of pleasure. They have no inclination to read philosophy, or to write it. ~ Mason Cooley
Philosophy Of quotes by Mason Cooley
Rich in material, but Devoid of Knowledge is like having an antique Clock with no numbers. Appealing to the eye, but Useless in the modern world. ~ Andrea L'Artiste
Philosophy Of quotes by Andrea L'Artiste
I don't have the faith now. I certainly believe in Jesus - you know, that he existed and he was a very nice man. And who can disagree with a simple philosophy of treat other people like you'd like to be treated yourself? It's absolutely - nothing I can disagree with that. ~ Nick Lowe
Philosophy Of quotes by Nick Lowe
[Skinner] does not invoke other events, processes, or mechanisms which are hypothesized or invented for the purpose of mediating between behavior and its empirical determinants. This omission is sometimes misconstrued as a denial that mediating mechanisms exist; they obviously do, they are obviously neurological and they are also obviously themselves lawful. ...The argument [against employing them as part of scientific practice] is simplicity itself... [Skinner] considers such theoretical terms unnecessary; they may generate research whose only usefulness is to disconfirm the mediating entity or redefine it without increasing our knowledge of behavior's controlling variables; they can become the absorbing focus of an inquiry and so deflect attention from behavior itself; they can become a "refuge from the data". ~ Kenneth MacCorquodale
Philosophy Of quotes by Kenneth MacCorquodale
I've begun to realize that behind every story there is a gap that nourishes wisdom with great strength. And people misunderstand it as the end. ~ Efrat Cybulkiewicz
Philosophy Of quotes by Efrat Cybulkiewicz
All mountain people are like that. No matter where you go, the mountains call you back. ~ Karan Bajaj
Philosophy Of quotes by Karan Bajaj
[I]ndeed, one hears, in early Christian theology, as many echoes of Persian dualism as of Hebrew Puritanism or Greek philosophy. ~ Will Durant
Philosophy Of quotes by Will Durant
At the same time that 'I' am the content of a relation, 'I' am also that which does the relating. ~ Haruki Murakami
Philosophy Of quotes by Haruki Murakami
Does it bother me that in my lifetime I'll never get to travel to the furthest reaches of The Milky Way and beyond? Hell yes it does, although Jesse, The Philosophy, and the followers of The Philosophy will be there to see it on my behalf I hope. ~ Cometan
Philosophy Of quotes by Cometan
There aren't bad ideas but yes bad thoughts ~ Valgame
Philosophy Of quotes by Valgame
When shit becomes valuable, the poor will be born without assholes. ~ Henry Miller
Philosophy Of quotes by Henry Miller
Vengeance is waste of time ~ Amish Tripathi
Philosophy Of quotes by Amish Tripathi
I think music, in my opinion, is not about motivation in the way it's - it's not a running base. It's art. And my whole philosophy of music is different. It's almost like cooking and serving to people, seeing them smile and enjoying the food, really. ~ A.R. Rahman
Philosophy Of quotes by A.R. Rahman
The unprecedented success of Keynesianism is due to the fact that it provides an apparent justification for the 'deficit spending' policies of contemporary governments. It is the pseudo-philosophy of those who can think of nothing else than to dissipate the capital accumulated by previous generations. ~ Ludwig Von Mises
Philosophy Of quotes by Ludwig Von Mises
What's in a view? A world, by any other, would remain just as it is, just as wonderful :-) ~ Abhimanyu Jha
Philosophy Of quotes by Abhimanyu Jha
Science is the most influential tool of progress in the world, not one among many, but most, yet no scientist had tried to use it as a primary tool for harmony. And I desired to accomplish precisely that. I didn't want to popularize science, for there were and are already tons of scientists doing it. I wanted to use science in a way that would have direct humanitarian consequences in interhuman relationships. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Philosophy Of quotes by Abhijit Naskar
The embodiment of mind leads us to a philosophy of embodied realism. Our concepts cannot be a direct reflection of external, objective, mind-independent reality because our sensorimotor system plays a crucial role in shaping them. On the other hand, it is the involvement of the sensorimotor system in the conceptual system that keeps the conceptual system very much in touch with the world. ~ George Lakoff
Philosophy Of quotes by George Lakoff
Resisting a task is usually a sign that it's meaningful-which is why it's awakening your fears and stimulating procrastination. You could adopt "Do whatever you're resisting the most" as a philosophy of life. ~ Oliver Burkeman
Philosophy Of quotes by Oliver Burkeman
He philosophy of Islam will be shown in terms of the modern philosophy, and if there are imperfections in the old ideas then they shall be removed. My task is merely constructive, and in this construction I shall take into consideration the best traditions of Islamic philosophy. ~ Muhammad Iqbal
Philosophy Of quotes by Muhammad Iqbal
Problems often become worse if incompetent people try to solve them. ~ Eraldo Banovac
Philosophy Of quotes by Eraldo Banovac
Stories have power. Gleemen's tales, and bards' epics, and rumors in the street alike. They stir passions, and change the way men see the world. ~ Robert Jordan
Philosophy Of quotes by Robert Jordan
Have you ever wonder about the misery of sleep? ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Philosophy Of quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
I do not want to sound cynical or condescending, but your lips are moving, your mind unbending. ~ Fakeer Ishavardas
Philosophy Of quotes by Fakeer Ishavardas
Dialectics is the philosophy of opposites."
I thought about this. "How do you make a philosophy out of opposites?"
"Well, you know how people are. They like to see things in black and white? Up or down, male or female?"
She had my attention now. "Uh-huh."
"Well, dialectics says that's all bullshit. That life is not about opposites, but about finding the balance between all these extremes."
I tried to sound less interested than I actually was. "How do you do that?" I said. "Find balance, I mean?"
"By paying attention," she said. "By trying to see how everything also contains its opposite." She took a drag on her cigarette. "Because if you live your life at the extremes, you go nuts. If you want to make any sense out of the world, you have to live in the gray."
"That sounds hard," I said.
"The hell yes it's hard," she said. "People don't like gray. It makes people uncomfortable. ~ Jennifer Finney Boylan
Philosophy Of quotes by Jennifer Finney Boylan
My philosophy of dating is to just fart right away. ~ Jenny McCarthy
Philosophy Of quotes by Jenny McCarthy
I would say we had two goals when doing this CD. The first goal is to introduce people who have never seen the show before to the best comics that are on the show. And goal number two is to introduce people that they never heard of before and give you a bit more flavor of what the show is actually like. And those goals are very much in line with the philosophy of the show from the very beginning. It's the very best people who are out there ... ~ Scott Aukerman
Philosophy Of quotes by Scott Aukerman
A philosophy of work is essential if we would be whole men, holy men, healthy men, joyous men. A certain amount of goods is necessary for a man to lead a good life, and we have to make that kind of society where it is easier for men to be good. ~ Dorothy Day
Philosophy Of quotes by Dorothy Day
Listen not to the words that have been spoken, but bend your ears to what has not been said. ~ Ian Segal
Philosophy Of quotes by Ian Segal
It's a kind of philosophy of my own life, to create the energy enough to keep on going. ~ Ernie Banks
Philosophy Of quotes by Ernie Banks
Once the roots of love have grown deep and firm,
the flowers will keep on blooming! ~ Avijeet Das
Philosophy Of quotes by Avijeet Das
[...] It is. Philosophy is a field that, unfortunately, reminds me of that old Woody Allen joke, "those that can't do, teach, and those that can't teach, teach gym." And the worst part of philosophy is the philosophy of science; the only people, as far as I can tell, that read work by philosophers of science are other philosophers of science. It has no impact on physics what so ever, and I doubt that other philosophers read it because it's fairly technical. And so it's really hard to understand what justifies it. And so I'd say that this tension occurs because people in philosophy feel threatened, and they have every right to feel threatened, because science progresses and philosophy doesn't.
[the atlantic, Has Physics Made Philosophy and Religion Obsolete? - interview, apr 23 2012] ~ Lawrence M. Krauss
Philosophy Of quotes by Lawrence M. Krauss
That was how people got through life, he supposed: by acknowledging death and telling it, Not today. ~ Molly Ringle
Philosophy Of quotes by Molly Ringle
Do not simply pay attention to the life, because the nature consists on different colors, if you entered into the colors they will soak you in a color which it is not your color. ~ Kamaran Ihsan Salih
Philosophy Of quotes by Kamaran Ihsan Salih
Like the river, keep on flowing. ~ Avijeet Das
Philosophy Of quotes by Avijeet Das
These thrill seeker people doing extreme sports ... they have a hideous accident, go through agonizing recovery, and then go back to that activity that nearly killed them ... that's not facing your fear, that's embracing your stupidity. ~ Kelli Jae Baeli
Philosophy Of quotes by Kelli Jae Baeli
My basic philosophy of teaching was straightforward and deeply personal. I wanted to teach the way I wished that I myself had been taught. Which is to say, I hoped to convey the sheer joy of learning, the thrill of understanding things about the universe. I wanted to pass along to students not only the logic but the beauty of math and science. Furthermore, I wanted to do this in a way that would be equally helpful to kids studying a subject for the first time and for adults who wanted to refresh their knowledge; for students grappling with homework and for older people hoping to keep their minds active and supple. ~ Salman Khan
Philosophy Of quotes by Salman Khan
Things don't just happen the way they happen for your its own Creator,Mentor and Destroyer ~ Abhishek Sundarraman
Philosophy Of quotes by Abhishek Sundarraman
I will miss myself in relation to others. The rareness. The exceptional differences. I will miss the gift that comes with hardship and paying the price. I will miss the tragedy of my own life. As I once spoke...emphatically, but I now repeat here, quietly - the pain, the pain is what made it so God damn beautiful. I endured. You can wait a lifetime for thirty seconds, five minutes, or for an hour to come into your life - a brief interval that makes all the suffering purposeful. In such moments of splendor and rapture - even if the rapture be stilled, the private hours and years of reckoning are unloaded, a burden lifted and the spirit feels as it did on the happiest day of its life when it was young and untormented Or rather, unconscious of the torment waiting to be ignited. ~ Wheston Chancellor Grove
Philosophy Of quotes by Wheston Chancellor Grove
Someday just someday I will do what I love all day. I will be who I really am somewhere. ~ Suyasha Subedi
Philosophy Of quotes by Suyasha Subedi
As your consciousness becomes deeper and your intuition becomes firmer, you will begin to feel your inner voice that speaks to you always. This is when your spiritual awakening will take place and it will spread across your whole being. Keep your inner circle small, sacred and pure. ~ Avijeet Das
Philosophy Of quotes by Avijeet Das
A rich man's lie has more validity than a poor man's truth in a materialistc world ~ Rassool Jibraeel Snyman
Philosophy Of quotes by Rassool Jibraeel Snyman
You don't want it, but the destiny oblige it ~ Kamaran Ihsan Salih
Philosophy Of quotes by Kamaran Ihsan Salih
True love has no boundaries. It is vast as the ocean and limitless as the sky,! ~ Avijeet Das
Philosophy Of quotes by Avijeet Das
A man cannot be blamed for ignorance if he has never been taught. ~ Rose
Philosophy Of quotes by Rose
She asked him "What do you do when you feel alone and lonely?"
And he said "I talk to the mountains! ~ Avijeet Das
Philosophy Of quotes by Avijeet Das
The aim of all life is death. Life is the apprenticeship that we serve preparing for death. Life is the fleeting spark of divinity that precedes a deathless eternity. ~ Kilroy J. Oldster
Philosophy Of quotes by Kilroy J. Oldster
My recipe for dealing with anger and frustration: set the kitchen timer for twenty minutes, cry, rant, and rave, and at the sound of the bell, simmer down and go about business as usual. ~ Phyllis Diller
Philosophy Of quotes by Phyllis Diller
It is a bitter thought, how different a thing the Christianity of the world might have been, if the Christian faith had been adopted as the religion of the empire under the auspices of Marcus Aurelius instead of those of Constantine. ~ John Stuart Mill
Philosophy Of quotes by John Stuart Mill
Sometimes your own tongue can make you deaf and dumb. ~ Anirban Bose
Philosophy Of quotes by Anirban Bose
Although it is not as famous as Kuhn's SSR, Bas van Fraassen's book The Scientific Image (1980) has certainly had a profound effect on the philosophy of science ~ Howard Margolis
Philosophy Of quotes by Howard Margolis
Hope is a happy spirit. ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Philosophy Of quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
The clouds don't overthink; they just drift. ~ Avijeet Das
Philosophy Of quotes by Avijeet Das
Love is the cruelest event. ~ Suman Pokhrel
Philosophy Of quotes by Suman Pokhrel
We all live our lives blindly believing in the people who make the decisions. Believing in science. Because the world is inscrutable and all information is hazy. We accept the existence of a round globe, of an atom's nucleus that sticks together like drops, of a shrinking universe
and the necessity of interfering with genetic material. Not because we know these things are true, but because we believe the people who tell us so. we are all proselytes of science. And, in contrast to the followers of other religions, we can no longer bridge the gap between ourselves and the priests. Problems arise when we stumble on an outright lie. And it affects our own lives ... that of a child who for the first time catches his parents in a lie he had always suspected. ~ Peter Hoeg
Philosophy Of quotes by Peter Hoeg
Natural Sciences are all about fascinating causality. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Philosophy Of quotes by Abhijit Naskar
Life is a gift. Accept the sacred existence ~ Lailah Gifty Akita
Philosophy Of quotes by Lailah Gifty Akita
Some things must remain the same in order for the universe to flow properly. One pebble dashed out across the ocean leaves a lifetime of ripples. They call it the butterfly effect. ~ Louise Mullins
Philosophy Of quotes by Louise Mullins
She: Do you always enjoy your struggle?

Me: Yes I do! There is no other meaningful way of living my life. My struggle to give voice to my thoughts is exhilarating. My struggle to channelize my thoughts to an audience is amazingly fulfilling. To write my feelings in words is greatly liberating. It is like my mind has all these thoughts and ideas that need to be shared with the esteemed audience!

She: What is your purpose of being a writer?

Me: A writer's life is a lonely life. The loneliness gives me time to be with myself. I am most happy when I am with myself. This loneliness is like my true existence. I don't need to search for a meaning in life. I have my struggle. I have a purpose. My reason for existence is my struggle to be a writer. ~ Avijeet Das
Philosophy Of quotes by Avijeet Das
Never lie. Firstly, you will be caught in the lie sooner or later. Secondly, count on problems when repairing the consequences of the lie. Therefore, always tell the truth no matter how unpleasant it is. ~ Eraldo Banovac
Philosophy Of quotes by Eraldo Banovac
The very fact of having fixed conclusions to strive for in orthodox belief does not render the Christian philosopher dogmatic but rather intellectually fruitful, willing to take and follow reason further than the putatively undogmatic unbelieving philosopher ~ Gregory B. Sadler
Philosophy Of quotes by Gregory B. Sadler
Language as a Prison

The Philippines did have a written language before the Spanish colonists arrived, contrary to what many of those colonists subsequently claimed. However, it was a language that some theorists believe was mainly used as a mnemonic device for epic poems. There was simply no need for a European-style written language in a decentralized land of small seaside fishing villages that were largely self-sufficient.

One theory regarding language is that it is primarily a useful tool born out of a need for control. In this theory written language was needed once top-down administration of small towns and villages came into being. Once there were bosses there arose a need for written language. The rise of the great metropolises of Ur and Babylon made a common written language an absolute necessity - but it was only a tool for the administrators. Administrators and rulers needed to keep records and know names - who had rented which plot of land, how many crops did they sell, how many fish did they catch, how many children do they have, how many water buffalo? More important, how much then do they owe me? In this account of the rise of written language, naming and accounting seem to be language's primary "civilizing" function. Language and number are also handy for keeping track of the movement of heavenly bodies, crop yields, and flood cycles. Naturally, a version of local oral languages was eventually translated into symbols as well, and nonadmi ~ David Byrne
Philosophy Of quotes by David Byrne
If I were to say that the so-called philosophy of this fellow Hegel is a colossal piece of mystification which will yet provide posterity with an inexhaustible theme for laughter at our times, that it is a pseudo-philosophy paralyzing all mental powers, stifling all real thinking, and, by the most outrageous misuse of language, putting in its place the hollowest, most senseless, thoughtless, and, as is confirmed by its success, most stupefying verbiage, I should be quite right. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer
Philosophy Of quotes by Arthur Schopenhauer
The novels of Daniel Defoe are fundamental to eighteenth-century ways of thinking. They range from the quasi-factual A Journal of the Plague Year, an almost journalistic (but fictional) account of London between 1664 and 1665 (when the author was a very young child), to Robinson Crusoe, one of the most enduring fables of Western culture. If the philosophy of the time asserted that life was, in Hobbes's words, 'solitary, poor, nasty, brutish, and short', novels showed ways of coping with 'brutish' reality (the plague; solitude on a desert island) and making the best of it. There was no questioning of authority as there had been throughout the Renaissance.
Instead, there was an interest in establishing and accepting authority, and in the ways of 'society' as a newly ordered whole.

Thus, Defoe's best-known heroine, Moll Flanders, can titillate her readers with her first-person narration of a dissolute life as thief, prostitute, and incestuous wife, all the time telling her story from the vantage point of one who has been accepted back into society and improved her behaviour. ~ Ronald Carter
Philosophy Of quotes by Ronald Carter
The Beautiful is the expression of the absolute Spirit, which is truth itself. This region of Divine truth as artistically presented to perception and feeling, forms the center of the whole world of Art. It is a self-contained, free, divine formation which has completely appropriated the elements of external form as material, and which employs them only as the means of manifesting itself. ~ Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
Philosophy Of quotes by Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel
The natural world gives us many examples of the great effectiveness of this way. The Chinese philosophy of which judo itself is an expression - Taoism - drew attention to the power of water to overcome all obstacles by its gentleness and pliability. It showed how the supple willow survives the tough pine in a snowstorm, for whereas the unyielding branches of the pine accumulate snow until they crack, the springy boughs of the willow bend under its weight, drop the snow, and jump back again. If, when swimming, you are caught in a strong current, it is fatal to resist. You must swim with it and gradually edge to the side. One who falls from a height with stiff limbs will break them, but if he relaxes like a cat he will fall safely. A building without 'give' in its structure will easily collapse in storm or earthquake, and a car without the cushioning of tires and springs will soon come apart on the road. The mind has just the same powers, for it has give and can absorb shocks like water or a cushion. But this giving way to an opposing force is not at all the same thing as running away. A body of water does not run away when you push it; it simply gives at the point of the push and encloses your hand. A shock absorber does not fall down like a bowling-pin when struck; it gives, and yet stays in the same place. To run away is the only defense of something rigid against an overwhelming force. Therefore the good shock absorber has not only 'give,' but also stability or 'weight. ~ Alan W. Watts
Philosophy Of quotes by Alan W. Watts
An eye for an eye" is for the unwise:
Due to it, many a war did arise.
"Turn the other cheek" is for the clever:
Due to it, many a peace didn't shatter. ~ Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol
Philosophy Of quotes by Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol
What she offers the downtrodden, the broken, the lost – not an easy path, but direction and purpose – what more can we ask for? ~ Cage Dunn
Philosophy Of quotes by Cage Dunn
Theism is a philosophy of non-thinker. ~ Debasish Mridha
Philosophy Of quotes by Debasish Mridha
Love a thing at a time. Many things will love you no more. ~ Suyasha Subedi
Philosophy Of quotes by Suyasha Subedi
He feels a second pang now for the existence of perfection, the stubborn existence of perfection in the most vulnerable of things and in the face of his refusal-logical-admirable refusal-to engage with this existence in his heart, in his mind. For the comfortless logic, the curse of clear sight, no matter which string he pulls on the same wretched knot: (a) the futility of seeing given the fatality in a place such as this where a mother still bloody must bury her newborn, hose off, and go home to pound yam into paste; (b) the persistence of beauty, in fragility of all places!, in a dewdrop at daybreak, a thing that will end, and in moments, and in a garden, and in Ghana, lush Ghana, soft Ghana, verdant Ghana, where fragile things die. ~ Taiye Selasi
Philosophy Of quotes by Taiye Selasi
When we die, it's not the angels in heaven that need our help. It's the angels in hell. ~ Anthony T. Hincks
Philosophy Of quotes by Anthony T. Hincks
These preachers and priests are no more religious and wise than the parrot that keeps repeating the same words over and over again, because it is incapable of original thinking. ~ Abhijit Naskar
Philosophy Of quotes by Abhijit Naskar
I'm Noah, and you are the ship coasting along the banks and as long as you are my valentine I will sail between your eyes.. ~ Adel Abouhana
Philosophy Of quotes by Adel Abouhana
People may be constrained in two basic ways: physically, by confining them in jails, mental hospitals, and so forth; and symbolically, by confining them in occupations, social roles, and so forth. Actually, confinement of the second type is more common and pervasive in the day-to-day conduct of society's business; as a rule, only when the symbolic, or socially informal, confinement of conduct fails or proves inadequate, is recourse taken to physical, or socially formal, confinement…. When people perform their social roles properly – in other words, when social expectations are adequately met – their behavior is considered normal. Though obvious, this deserves emphasis: a waiter must wait on tables; a secretary must type; a father must earn a living; a mother must cook and sew and take care of her children. Classic systems of psychiatric nosology had nothing to say about these people, so long as they remained neatly imprisoned in their respective social cells; or, as we say about the Negroes, so long as they "knew their place." But when such persons broke out of "jail" and asserted their liberty, they became of interest to the psychiatrist. ~ Thomas Szasz
Philosophy Of quotes by Thomas Szasz
Happiness is a frightening state of being. If we let ourselves be happy, then there is something that can always be taken from us. In one minute, one second, everything can change. ~ Jacqueline Simon Gunn
Philosophy Of quotes by Jacqueline Simon Gunn
Everything is an appreciation, even an insult provided you look at it with that angle. ~ Vipin Behari Goyal
Philosophy Of quotes by Vipin Behari Goyal
For many intelligences,the thought of homely intimacies is associated with a spontaneous disgust at too much sweetness-which is why there is neither a philosophy of sweetness nor an elaborated ontology of the intimate. One must assess the nature of this resistance if one is to get past typical initial aversions. From a distance,the subject appears so unattractive and inconsequential that for the time being,only suckers for harmony or theophilic eunuchs would get stuck on it. An intellect that spends its energy on worthy objects usually prefers the sharp to the sweet; one does not offer candy to heroes ~ Peter Sloterdijk
Philosophy Of quotes by Peter Sloterdijk
No one should pay attention to a man delivering a lecture or a sermon on his "philosophy of life" until we know exactly how he treats his wife, his children, his neighbors, his friends, his subordinates and his enemies. ~ Sydney J. Harris
Philosophy Of quotes by Sydney J. Harris
The Artist started painting the Ancient Fire, inhaling the wine in search of philosophical beginnings… ~ Talismanist Giebra
Philosophy Of quotes by Talismanist Giebra
...it pointed to an alternative approach, a 'negative path' to happiness, that entailed taking a radically different stance towards those things that most of us spend our lives trying to avoid. It involved learning to enjoy uncertainty, embracing insecurity, stopping trying to think positively, becoming familiar with failure, even learning to value death. In short, all these people seemed to agree that in order to be truly happy, we might actually need to be willing to experience more negative emotions - or, at the very least to learn to stop running quite so hard from them. ~ Oliver Burkeman
Philosophy Of quotes by Oliver Burkeman
Love is a beautiful feeling. When you love someone life becomes beautiful. But in loving someone do not stop loving yourself too! ~ Avijeet Das
Philosophy Of quotes by Avijeet Das
Is God really real?"This is a perennial question for the philosophy of religion. Fortunately, the Pythons have answers to it. Perhaps too many answers. If we asked Arthur, King of the Britons, he would certainly testify that God exists, speaks English, and can't stand people groveling, averting their eyes, ceaselessly apologizing, and deeming themselves unworthy. Yet when we begin inquiring into Monty Python's The Meaning of Life, "there is some doubt" about whether God is really real, or, to put it more philosophically, there is doubt over whether God's existence can be established through a valid argument. There is a long philosophical tradition of constructing rational arguments for the existence and attributes of God, and an equally long skeptical tradition of deconstructing those same arguments. The Pythons have been exemplary participants in the latter tradition, either through parody, or by echoing in a funnier and more succinct way the skeptical arguments of such philosophical predecessors as Scottish philosopher David Hume (1711-1776). ~ George A. Reisch
Philosophy Of quotes by George A. Reisch
Life is a helluva journey. You face situations. You meet people. You try to understand situations. You try to understand people.
But you will never ever be able to understand people. You will never ever be able to understand why some things happen.

You feel you desperately need someone to support. But you won't find any support. You feel you need an anchor amidst the unpredictably nature of life. But there won't be an anchor. And you will feel your feet are losing their balance. You will feel you are falling down. You will feel the weight of life pulling you down. And you are drowning in the ocean. And you are shouting for help. But nobody can hear you because everybody is busy living their life to listen to you.

You thus you give up on people. You lose faith in people. You lose faith on life.

You just go on living life without feeling anything. You live life in a state of numbness and indifference.

And then one day you look at yourself in the mirror, and you have become a stranger to yourself! ~ Avijeet Das
Philosophy Of quotes by Avijeet Das
The ideology and philosophy of neo-Darwinism which is sold by its adepts as a scientific theoretical foundation of biology seriously hampers the development of science and hides from students the field's real problems. ~ Vladimir L. Voeikov
Philosophy Of quotes by Vladimir L. Voeikov
If you're born rich, congrats! If not, take heart!
Options so abounding, the world so vast!
Nowadays there are no more alibis,
why we ought to remain poor all our lives.

We have this dictum where you I will tour:
"It is not your fault that you were born poor,
but it's already your fault, you died poor!"
What a great saying, big truth it conjures! ~ Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol
Philosophy Of quotes by Rodolfo Martin Vitangcol
It felt great to be loved. Children... Children are a hazard to your life... As they'd got older they had become more expensive. But it was worth it. If she didn't have her children her life would be empty. And even though your children leave your nest, they always have one foot tethered to you. ~ Cindy Vine
Philosophy Of quotes by Cindy Vine
Our intonations contain our philosophy of life, what each of us is constantly telling himself about things. ~ Marcel Proust
Philosophy Of quotes by Marcel Proust
The order and connection of ideas in the same as the order and connection of things ~ Baruch Spinoza
Philosophy Of quotes by Baruch Spinoza
It's not the job of this town to make me feel happy. It's not this town´s fault that I don't feel I fit in. It doesn't matter where you are in the world, because it's about where you are in your head. It's about the other world I inhabit. The world of dreams, hope, imagination, and memories. I'm happy up here, and because of that I'm happy up there too ~ Cecelia Ahern
Philosophy Of quotes by Cecelia Ahern
Have I had two roads, I would have chosen their third. ~ Mahmoud Darwish
