English Philosopher

Famous quotes containing the words english and/or philosopher:

    But it was alway yet the trick of our English nation, if they
    have a good thing, to make it too common.
    William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    Not fat but the greatest possible suppleness and strength is what a good dancer wants from his nourishment—and I could not even guess what the spirit of a philosopher might wish to be more than a good dancer. For dance is his ideal, and also his art, and finally also his only piety, his “service to God.”
    Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
