Famous quotes containing the words philosophy and/or logic:

    The philosopher’s conception of things will, above all, be truer than other men’s, and his philosophy will subordinate all the circumstances of life. To live like a philosopher is to live, not foolishly, like other men, but wisely and according to universal laws.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
