Quotations regarding 'Philosophy'

Choose a letter: 
I must study politics and war that my sons may have liberty to study mathematics and philosophy.
John Adams, American President (1735-1826)
Instead of art I have taught philosophy. Though technique for me is a big word, I never have taught how to paint. All my doing was to make people to see.
Josef Albers, German Artist (1888-1976)
What is the meaning of the togetherness of the perceiving mind, in that peculiar modification of perceiving which makes it perceive not a star but a tree, and the tree itself, is a problem for philosophy.
Samuel Alexander, Australian Philosopher (1859-1938)
We should remember that there was once a discipline called natural philosophy. Unfortunately, this discipline seems not to exist today. It has been renamed science, but science of today is in danger of losing much of the natural philosophy aspect.
Hannes Alfven, Swedish Scientist (1908-1995)
Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder.
Thomas Aquinas, Italian Theologian
Our Fly Smart philosophy is about investing only on those points of differentiation that pay for themselves, that earn a revenue premium commensurate with what it costs us to provide that product or service.
Gerard Arpey, American Businessman (1958-  )
But I owe it to the subject to say, that it has long afforded me what philosophy is so often thought, and made, barren of - the fun of discovery, the pleasures of co-operation, and the satisfaction of reaching agreement.
J. L. Austin, English Philosopher (1911-1960)
I think that the basic philosophy was very good. It was just be nice to each other, and don't step on other people's toes and infringe on their freedom.
Kevin Ayers, English Composer (1944-  )
Small amounts of philosophy lead to atheism, but larger amounts bring us back to God.
Francis Bacon, English Philosopher (1561-1626)
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
Francis Bacon, English Philosopher (1561-1626)
It's almost like a lot of black people in America, a lot of young black men, are born with this cloud over their heads. It's their penitentiary cloud, this philosophy we all have, that it's harder for us.
Erykah Badu, American Musician (1971-  )
Science may eventually explain the world of How. The ultimate world of Why may remain for contemplation, philosophy, religion.
Liberty Hyde Bailey, American Scientist
I am very proud of The Saints and I'm very glad that I've been associated with them all these years, but the next record is the best record... has to be the philosophy for any band that remains even halfway decent or vibrant, and that is kind of where my head's at.
Chris Bailey, Australian Musician
St. Paul would say to the philosophers that God created man so that he would seek the Divine, try to attain the Divine. That is why all pre-Christian philosophy is theological at its summit.
Hans Urs von Balthasar, Swiss Theologian (1905-1988)
It's a kind of philosophy of my own life, to create the energy enough to keep on going.
Ernie Banks, Athlete (1931-  )
Without philosophy, history is always for me dead and dumb.
Ferdinand Christian Baur, German Theologian (1792-1860)
I majored in Chinese. I was never really good at Chinese but I really, really benefited from having been exposed to Asian philosophy early in my life.
Martha Beck, American Author (1962-  )
The philosophy of one century is the common sense of the next.
Henry Ward Beecher, American Clergyman (1813-1887)
Music is a higher revelation than all wisdom and philosophy.
Ludwig van Beethoven, German Composer (1770-1827)
Nothing seems to me more doubtful than Aristotle's remark that it is probable the arts and philosophy have several times been discovered and several times lost.
Julien Benda, French Philosopher (1867-1956)
