Famous Quotes & Sayings

Wendell Willkie

I am not interested in the support of anybody who stands for any form of prejudice as to anybody's race or religion. . . . I have no place in my philosophy for such beliefs.

W. Somerset Maugham

The great critic … must be a philosopher, for from philosophy he will learn serenity, impartiality, and the transitoriness of human things.

Zadie Smith

It's easy to confuse a woman for a philosophy

Manly Hall

Philosophy is the science of estimating values. The superiority of any state or substance over another is determined by philosophy. By assigning a position of primary importance to what remains when all that is secondary has been removed, philosophy thus becomes the true index of priority or emphasis in the realm of speculative thought.

Friedrich August von Hayek

The task of the political philosopher can only be to influence public opinion, not to organize people for action. He will do so effectively only if he is not concerned with what is now politically possible but consistently defends the "general principles which are always the same." In this sense I doubt whether there can be such a thing as a conservative political philosophy. Conservatism may often be a useful practical maxim, but it does not give us any guiding principles which can influence long-range developments.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Sometimes, in doing philosophy, one just wants to utter an inarticulate sound.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Philosophy hasn't made any progress? - If somebody scratches the spot where he has an itch, do we have to see some progress? Isn't genuine scratching otherwise, or genuine itching itching? And can't this reaction to an irritation continue in the same way for a long time before a cure for the itching is discovered?

Ludwig Wittgenstein

Philosophy is like trying to open a safe with a combination lock: each little adjustment of the dials seems to achieve nothing, only when everything is in place does the door open.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

The sole remaining task for philosophy is the analysis of language.

Jenny Teater

The girls showed a lot of heart at the end to get the win. We had to battle one trip down the floor at a time and win the small battles, but in the end our senior leadership helped us pull out the win.

Ellen Gerton

The girls look like they have been through the war when the whole thing was over. It just got tough in the second half because we not only had to battle Aspen, we had to fight the wind.

Roberto Luongo

The game was a good workout. The last half of the first period, they were on the power play the whole 10 minutes. It was tough, but you have to battle through it.

These guys are clubbing each other over the head. It's been an entertaining battle to watch and I'm not sure who's going to win.

Casey Randolph

This is our biggest win, and to do it with a pin doesn't get any better. But just getting there (Battle Creek) is never good enough. We have to reset our goals now, and we'll do that first thing tomorrow. We had three goals this year -- win a district, set the school record for wins and get to Battle Creek, and we've accomplished those.
