Trusted/philosophy

Famous quotes containing the words trusted and/or philosophy:

    This was charming, no doubt: but they shortly found out
    That the Captain they trusted so well
    Had only one notion for crossing the ocean,
    And that was to tingle his bell.
    Lewis Carroll [Charles Lutwidge Dodgson] (1832–1898)

    In everyone’s youthful dreams, philosophy is still vaguely but inseparably, and with singular truth, associated with the East, nor do after years discover its local habitation in the Western world. In comparison with the philosophers of the East, we may say that modern Europe has yet given birth to none.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
