Have a philosophy of investment and try to follow it.
Walter Schloss
Image
I have loved to the point of madness That which is called madness, That which to me, Is the only sensible way to love.
Francoise Sagan
Image
Aphorisms are the true form of the universal philosophy.
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Image
Philosophy treats of physics where a more careful knowledge is required because the problems which come under this head are numerous... So the reader of Ctesibius or Archimedes and the other writers of treatises of the same class will not be able to appreciate them unless he has been trained in these subjects by the philosophers.
Marcus Vitruvius Pollio
Image
Proverbs may not improperly be called the philosophy of the common people.
James Howell
Image
Every decently-made object, from a house to a lamp post to a bridge, spoon or egg cup, is not just a piece of 'stuff' but a physical embodiment of human energy, testimony to the magical ability of our species to take raw materials and turn them into things of use, value and beauty.
Kevin McCloud

It does not need that a poem should be long. Every word was once a poem.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Image
My chief reason for choosing Christianity was because the mysteries were incomprehensible. What's the point of revelation if we could figure it out ourselves? If it were wholly comprehensible, then it would just be another philosophy.
Mortimer Adler
Image
Without claiming to be exhaustive, I maintain that every philosophy reproduces within itself, in one way or another, the conflict in which it finds itself compromised and caught up in the outside world.
Louis Althusser
Image
The sum total of all possible knowledge of God is not possible for a human being, not even through a true revelation. But it is one of the worthiest inquiries to see how far our reason can go in the knowledge of God.
Immanuel Kant
Image
A truce to philosophy!—Life is before me, and I rush into possession. Hope, glory, love, and blameless ambition are my guides, and my soul knows no dread. What has been, though sweet, is gone the present is good only because it is about to change, and the to come is all my own.
Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
Image
The triumph of the philosophy of Atheism is to free man from the nightmare of gods it means the dissolution of the phantoms of the beyond.
Emma Goldman
Image
My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me.
Anthony Hopkins
Image
Some of us learned in a school of philosophy which taught that all was for the common good and nothing for oneself and have never, in any case, regarded the pursuit of happiness as anything other than an aberration of the human spirit.
John Grierson
Image
I now find my political philosophy more in line with Democrats than Republicans.
Arlen Specter
Image
The philosophy which affects to teach us a contempt of money does not run very deep for, indeed, it ought to be still more clear to the philosopher than it is to ordinary men, that there are few things in the world of greater importance.
Henry Taylor
Image
Time is a game played beautifully by children.
Heraclitus
Image
If you win, you need not have to explain...If you lose, you should not be there to explain!
Adolf Hitler
Image
Philosophy has to be enquiring it can take nothing on faith, and its methods are based not on the blind acceptance of authority, but on establishing truths by reason and argument.
Julian Baggini
Image
Philosophers say that nothing can be seen that is neither illuminated nor colored.
Leon Battista Alberti
Image
We are faced with the paradoxical fact that education has become one of the chief obstacles to intelligence and freedom of thought.
Bertrand Russell
Image
You will have bad times, but they will always wake you up to the stuff you weren't paying attention to.
Robin Williams
Image
Should philosophers be expected to change the world? Such an expectation seems to me extravagant. Marx himself didn't change the world: he reinterpreted it, then other people changed it.
J. M. Coetzee
Image
Now Einstein was a very clever man, with us all his philosophies he shared, He gave us the theory of relativity, which is E equals M C squared.
