Idealist Philosopher

Famous quotes containing the words idealist and/or philosopher:

    I’m no idealist to believe firmly in the integrity of our courts and in the jury system—that is no ideal to me, it is a living, working reality. Gentlemen, a court is no better than each man of you sitting before me on this jury. A court is only as sound as its jury, and a jury is only as sound as the men who make it up.
    Harper Lee (b. 1926)

    It is one of the chief skills of the philosopher not to occupy himself with questions which do not concern him.
    Ludwig Wittgenstein (1889–1951)
