Amish Tripathi
Image
Man can no more leave God out of his philosophies than he can live without his heart or see without his eyes.
Edward Harold Begbie
Image
Philosophy means liberation from the - routine, soaring above the well known, seeing it in new perspectives, arousing wonder and the wish to fly.
Walter Kaufmann
Image
If somebody can create an absolute system of beliefs and rules of conduct that will guide a business man at eleven o'clock in the morning, a boy trying to select a career, a woman in an unhappy love affair--well then, surely no pragmatist will object. He insists only that philosophy shall come down to earth and be tried out there.
Walter Lippmann
Image
PERIPATETIC, adj. Walking about. Relating to the philosophy of Aristotle, who, while expounding it, moved from place to place in order to avoid his pupil's objections. A needless precaution - they knew no more of the matter than he.

Those that study particular sciences, and neglect philosophy, are like Penelope's wooers, that make love to the waiting women.
Aristippus

All schools of philosophy, and almost all authors, are rather to be frequented for exercise than for weight.
Walter Savage Landor
Image
Religion is the eldest sister of philosophy: on whatever subjects they may differ, it is unbecoming in either to quarrel, and most so about their inheritance.
Walter Savage Landor
Image
We may receive so much light as not to see, and so much philosophy as to be worse than foolish.
Walter Savage Landor
Image

I remain instinctively hostile to communitarian philosophy and communitarian politics.
Amartya Sen
Image
While I am interested both in economics and in philosophy, the union of my interests in the two fields far exceeds their intersection.
Amartya Sen
Image
The food we ate was Indian, and both my mother and father were very deep into the ancient philosophy of India, so it could well have been an Indian household.
Amar Bose
Image
Investment philosophy is the clear understanding that by owning shares of stocks he owns businesses, not pieces of paper.
Warren Buffett
Image
I would rather sustain the penalties resulting from over-conservatism than face the consequences of error, perhaps with permanent capital loss, resulting from the adoption of New Era philosophy where trees really do grow to the sky.
Warren Buffett
Image
There is superficial conflict but deep concord between science and theistic religion, but superficial concord and deep conflict between science and naturalism
