Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:

    “A new philosophy generally means in practice the praise of some old vice.”
    —Gilbert Keith Chesterton (1874–1936)

    “How can you tell if you discipline effectively? Ask yourself if your disciplinary methods generally produce lasting results in a manner you find acceptable. Whether your philosophy is democratic or autocratic, whatever techniques you use—reasoning, a “star” chart, time-outs, or spanking—if it doesn’t work, it’s not effective.”
    —Stanley Turecki (20th century)

    “A novel is never anything but a philosophy put into images.”
