Future/philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or philosophy:

“It is given to few to add the store of knowledge, to strike new springs of thought, or to shape new forms of beauty. But so sure as it is that men live not by bread, but by ideas, so sure is it that the future of the world lies in the hands of those who are able to carry the interpretation of nature a step further than their predecessors.”
—Thomas Henry Huxley (1825–95)

“And truly Philosophy is but sophisticated poetry. Whence do those ancient writers derive all their authority but from the poets?”
