Famous quotes containing the word philosophy:

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

    People who love soft methods and hate iniquity forget this,—that reform consists in taking a bone from a dog. Philosophy will not do it.
    John Jay Chapman (1862–1933)

    My philosophy is such that I am not going to vote against the oppressed. I have been oppressed, and so I am always going to have a vote for the oppressed, regardless of whether that oppressed is black or white or yellow or the people of the Middle East, or what. I have that feeling.
    Septima Clark (1898–1987)
