Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:

    “The Emmet’s Inch and Eagle’s Mile
    Make Lame Philosophy to smile.”
    —William Blake (1757–1827)

    “A life-worshipper’s philosophy is comprehensive.... He is at one moment a positivist and at another a mystic: now haunted by the thought of death ... and now a Dionysian child of nature; now a pessimist and now, with a change of lover or liver or even the weather, an exuberant believer that God’s in his heaven and all’s right with the world.”
    —Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

    “Englishmen are babes in philosophy and so prefer faction-fighting to the labour of its unfamiliar thought.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)
