When anything assumes the strength of a creed, it becomes self-sustained and derives the needed support from within.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Metaphysics is the study of the most general nature and basic structure of reality, and therefore the concepts of metaphysics, concepts like time, space, identity, resemblance, substance, property, fact, event, composition, possibility, etc., are the most fundamental concepts. Thus metaphysics is the most fundamental theoretical discipline.
Gonzalo Rodriguez-Pereyra
Image
Purity of personal life is the one indispensable condition for building up a sound education.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
I do not want any patronage, as I do not give any. I am a lover of my own liberty, and so I would do nothing to restrict yours. I simply want to please my own conscience which is God.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
My trust is solely in God. And I trust men only because I trust God. If I had no God to rely upon, I should be like Timon, a hater of my species.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Breathless and unharmed, we emerge from the mazes of metaphysics and psychology where man and the soul are playing hide-and-seek.
Ameen Rihani
Image
My religion is based on truth and non-violence. Truth is my God. Non-violence is the means of realising Him.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Non-violence requires a double faith, faith in God and also faith in man.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Perhaps dandruff is the excreta of the mind — the quantity of this material being directly proportional to the amount of reading one indulges in. A book on German metaphysics would thus easily ruin a dress suit.
Thomas A. Edison
Image
The great question in life is the suffering we cause, and the most ingenious metaphysics do not justify the man who has broken the heart that loved him.
Benjamin Constant
Image
Metaphysics may be, after all, only the art of being sure of something that is not so and logic only the art of going wrong with confidence.
Joseph Wood Krutch
Image
The instinct of revenge is the force which constitutes the essence of what we call psychology, history, metaphysics and morality. The spirit of revenge is the genealogical element of our thought, the transcendental principle of our way of thinking.
Gilles Deleuze
Image
When philosophers use a word--knowledge, being, object, I, proposition, name--and try to grasp the essence of the thing, one must always ask oneself: is the word ever actually used in this way in the language-game which is its original home?--What we do is to bring words back from their metaphysical to their everyday use.
Ludwig Wittgenstein
Image
Fear of death makes us devoid both of valour and religion. For want of valour is want of religious faith.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
In metaphysics, the notion that earth and all that's on it is a mental construct is the product of people who spend their lives inside rooms. It is an indoor philosophy.
Edward Abbey
Image
It has never been in my power to study anything, mathematics, ethics, metaphysics, gravitation, thermodynamics, optics, chemistry, comparative anatomy, astronomy, psychology, phonetics, economics, the history of science, whist, men and women, wine, metrology, except as a study of semeiotic .
Charles Sanders Peirce
Image
Metaphysics, in whatever latitude the term be taken, is a science, or complement of sciences, exclusively occupied with mind.
Sir William Hamilton, 9th Baronet
Image
Though we may know Him by a thousand names, He is one and the same to us all.
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Logic has its use and metaphysics has its use, but neither of them is of much help in the making of a creed.
Thomas De Witt Talmage
Image
Religion is the metaphysics of the masses.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Christianity is a metaphysics of the hangman.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
A little cooling down of animal excitability and instinct, a little loss of animal toughness, a little irritable weakness and descent of the pain-threshold, will bring the worm at the core of all our usual springs of delight into full view, and turn us into melancholy metaphysicians.
William James
Image
Logic and metaphysics make use of more tools than all the rest of the sciences put together, and do the least work.
Charles Caleb Colton
Image
No religion which is narrow and which cannot satisfy the test of reason, will survive the coming reconstruction of society in which the values will have changed and character, not possession of wealth, title or birth, will be the test of merit.
Mahatma Gandhi
