Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:

    “What is rational is actual and what is actual is rational. On this conviction the plain man like the philosopher takes his stand, and from it philosophy starts in its study of the universe of mind as well as the universe of nature.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “I am still a learner, not a teacher, feeding somewhat omnivorously, browsing both stalk and leaves; but I shall perhaps be enabled to speak with more precision and authority by and by,—if philosophy and sentiment are not buried under a multitude of details.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
