Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:

    “My philosophy is such that I am not going to vote against the oppressed. I have been oppressed, and so I am always going to have a vote for the oppressed, regardless of whether that oppressed is black or white or yellow or the people of the Middle East, or what. I have that feeling.”
    —Septima Clark (1898–1987)

    “A philosophy can and must be worked out with the greatest rigour and discipline in the details, but can ultimately be founded on nothing but faith: and this is the reason, I suspect, why the novelties in philosophy are only in elaboration, and never in fundamentals.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    “A philosopher once said, “Half of good philosophy is good grammar.””
    —A.P. Martinich (b. 1946)
