It is a great advantage for a system of philosophy to be substantially true.

Building a successful company (or living a happy life, for that matter) is not about embracing someone else's philosophy, but staying true to your own beliefs about the world and learning from the mistakes you make along the way.

My philosophy comes from a worldview that looks at the world as one. It's a holistic view that sees the world as interconnected and interdependent and integrated in so many different ways, which informs my politics.

It is not impossible to think that the minds of philosophers sometimes act like those of other mortals, and that, having once been determined by diverse circumstances to adopt certain views, they then look for and naturally find reasons to justify these views.

For my own part, I would rather excel in knowledge of the highest secrets of philosophy than in arms.

My philosophy is simple: It's a down-home, common, horse-sense approach to things.

Philosophy goes no further than probabilities, and in every assertion keeps a doubt in reserve.

The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it.

We live in a world in which politics has replaced philosophy.

I don't have a philosophy in a nutshell; I would go on and on too much.
