If you want to know what happiness is, you need to go to the philosophers. Start with the Wikipedia article "Philosophy of Happiness."

Then read the philosophers' works themselves. By the time you're done, you'll probably be dead, whether or not you are happy. — John Perry

Philosphy Quotes By Jasper Fforde

I am by turns a petulant adolescent and a mature man, a melancholy loner and a wit telling actors their trade.

I might be truly mad or sane pretending to be mad or even mad pretending to be sane. — Jasper Fforde

You've come to give me a piece of your mind. You know that phrase is really beautiful. The mind is the most powerful thing in the body. Whatever the mind believes, the body can achieve.

What is creationism?
What is ethical? — Jessica Park

Philosphy Quotes By Peter Marshall

The continued appeal of anarchism can probably be attributed to its enduring affinity with both the rational and emotional impulses lying deep within us.

It presents a telling analysis of existing institutions and practices, and at the same time offers the prospect of a radically transformed society. — Peter Marshall

Philosphy Quotes By Bruce Lee Bond

Your own forefathers killed to have and hold the land where you were born, and sought to extinguish the memories and souls of those that were slain.

Philosphy Quotes By Ilchi Lee

Honesty is proportional to clarity of soul and brightness of consciousness. Being honest allows your soul to be clear and your consciousness to be bright.

Honesty makes us honorable in our own eyes. — Ilchi Lee

Philosphy Quotes By Milan Kundera

But it was not only a feeling of guilt which drove him into danger. He detested the pettiness that made life semilife and men semimen. He wished to put his life on one of a pair of scales and death on the other. He wished each of his acts, indeed each day, each hour, each second of his life to be measured against the supreme criterion, which is death. That was why he wanted to march at the head of the column, to walk on a tightrope over an abyss, to have a halo of bullets around his head and thus to grow in everyone's eyes and become unlimited as death is unlimited ... — Milan Kundera

Philosphy Quotes By P.B. Kerr

Tea has nothing to do with being hungry," said Nimrod. "For Englishmen, it is like a canonical hour. And almost as much of an important ritual as the tea ceremony in Japan. Except for one thing. With tea, in Japan, recognition is given that every human encounter is a singular occasion which can, and will, never recur again exactly. Thus every aspect of tea must be savored for what it gives the participants. But in England, the significance occurs in the fact that teas is always the same, and will always recur again and again, exactly . For how is the endurance of a great civilization to be measured? — P.B. Kerr

Philosphy Quotes By Osman Bakar

It is a meaningful thing for a scientist of the stature of Ibn Sina, certainly one of the best scientific minds in the whole history of mankind, to often resort to prayer to seek God's help in solving his philosophical and scientific problems. And it is also perfectly understandable why the purification of the soul is considered an integral part of the methodology of knowledge. — Osman Bakar

Philosphy Quotes By Kilroy J. Oldster

Beauty surrounds us, but oftentimes it takes a person with a poetic perception, an artist's way of looking at the world, to first notice the sublime, and then stagecraft the splendor of nature so that other people can perceive their synoptic vision. The spirit and aesthetic intention behind the work is what assigns the work its artistic quality. Great works of poetry and writing, for instance, express not simply a criticism of life, but also encompass a philosophy for living. — Kilroy J. Oldster

Ability does catches my attention, but its a politeness in the person that I remember. — Amit Kalantri

Philosphy Quotes By Zephyr McIntyre

Philosphy Quotes By Ilchi Lee

Philosphy Quotes By Aldo Leopond

I now suspect that just as a deer herd lives in mortal fear of its wolves, so does a mountain live in mortal fear of its deer. And perhaps with better cause, for while a buck pulled down by wolves can be replaced in two or three years, a range pulled down by too many deer may fail for replacement in as many decades — Aldo Leopond

Philosphy Quotes By Kilroy J. Oldster

Reading, writing, listening to music, skipping rope, flying kites, taking long walks along the sea, hiking in the crisp mountain air, all serve a joint purpose: these self-initiated acts free us from the drudgery of life. These forms of physical and mental exercises release the mind to roam uninhibited, such collaborative types of mind and body actions take people away from their physical pains and emotional grievances. A reprieve from the crippling grind of sameness allows personal imagination to soar. Imagination, a form of dreaming, is inherently pleasant and restorative. It is within these moments of personal introspection stolen from the industry of surviving that humankind touches upon the absolute truth of life: that there must be something more to living then merely getting by; the fundamental human condition thirsts for a way to improve upon the vestment that shelters our self-absorbed lives. — Kilroy J. Oldster

Philosphy Quotes By Farley Maglaya

Life in illusion is in a transient belief on insight without perspective — Farley Maglaya

Philosphy Quotes By Albert Camus

If we believe in nothing, if nothing has any meaning and if we can affirm no values whatsoever, then everything is possible and nothing has any importance. — Albert Camus

Philosphy Quotes By John Donne

But come bad chance
And wee joyne to it our strength
And wee teach it art and length
It selfe o'er us to advance. — John Donne

Philosphy Quotes By Munia Khan

Even a cockroach can be legendary by being killed by a legend. — Munia Khan

Apo deepa bhawa"Sanskrit ; Be a light upon yourself
Buddha to Ananda during his last talks — Buddha Gautama

Philosphy Quotes By Ravindra Shukla

Ignoring somebody's mistakes in life from a powerful position makes you a saint, but the same act (whose intention
does not matter), if carried out from a weak position, will make you a coward or helpless. — Ravindra Shukla

Philosphy Quotes By Teju Cole

He, too, was in the grip of rage and rhetoric. I saw that, attractive though his side of the political spectrum was. A cancerous violence had eaten into every political idea, had taken over the ideas themselves, and for so many, all that mattered was the willingness to do something. Action led to action, free of any moorings, and the way to be someone, the way to catch the attention of the young and recruit them to one's cause, was to be enraged. It seemed as if the only way this lure of violence could be avoided was by having no causes, by being magnificiently isolated from loyalties. But was that not an ethical lapse graver than rage itself? — Teju Cole

Philosphy Quotes By Anurag Bhatt

Everybody hates lie but nobody wants to hear the truth. — Anurag Bhatt

Philosphy Quotes By Carroll Bryant

The thing I want to write most is the next thing I write. — Carroll Bryant

Philosphy Quotes By Imbolo Mbue

Its regurgitation in newspapers of record and blogs of repute would be another reminder why the American society as a whole could never be call itself highbrow, why its easy availability of of stories on the private lives of others was turning adults, who would otherwise be enriching their minds with worthwhile knowledge, into juveniles who needed the satisfaction of knowing that others were more pathetic than them. — Imbolo Mbue

Philosphy Quotes By Kilroy J. Oldster

Philosophic questions are attempts to understand the root nature of reality, existence, and knowledge. — Kilroy J. Oldster

Philosphy Quotes By E.E.D. Horton

No matter what you do if it isn't genuine it's not worth doing, if it isn't meant with good heart it's not worth saying, and if it's a darkness around you perhaps it's not worth remembering. — E.E.D. Horton

Philosphy Quotes By Will Durant

Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice. — Will Durant

Philosphy Quotes By Carroll Bryant

When people say they hate life, to what are they comparing it to? The alternative isn't any more appealing. — Carroll Bryant

Philosphy Quotes By T.H. White

There was just such a man when I was young - an Austrian who invented a new way of life and convinced himself that he was the chap to make it work. He tried to impose his reformation by the sword, and plunged the civilized world into misery and chaos. But the thing which this fellow had overlooked, my friend, was that he had a predecessor in the reformation business, called Jesus Christ. Perhaps we may assume that Jesus knew as much as the Austrian did about saving people. But the odd thing is that Jesus did not turn the disciples into strom troopers, burn down the Temple at Jerusalem, and fix the blame on Pontius Pilate. On the contrary, he made it clear that the business of the philosopher was to make ideas available, and not to impose them on people. — T.H. White

Philosphy Quotes By Oscar Wilde

If we're always guided by other people's thoughts, what's the point in having our own? — Oscar Wilde

Philosphy Quotes By Will Durant

The constant steaming in of thoughts of others must suppress and confine our own and indeed in the long run paralyze the power of thought ... The inclination of most scholars is a kind of fuga vacui ( latin for vacuum suction )from the poverty of their own mind , which forcibly draws in the thoughts of others ... It is dangerous to read about a subject before we have thought about it ourselves ... When we read, another person thinks for us; merely repeat his mental process. So it comes about that if anybody spends almost the whole day in reading, he gradually loses the capacity for thinking. Experience of the world may be looked upon as a kind of text, to which reflection and knowledge form the commentary. Where there is a great deal of reflection and intellectual knowledge and very little experience , the result is like those books which have on each page two lines of text to forty lines of commentary — Will Durant

Philosphy Quotes By Ravindra Shukla

Needs are stronger than liking. — Ravindra Shukla

Philosphy Quotes By Carroll Bryant

Hope is believing in something that eludes you. It's a desperate feeling in a desperate situation. — Carroll Bryant

Philosphy Quotes By Robert Ardrey

A human being is a problem in search of a solution. — Robert Ardrey

Philosphy Quotes By Frank Close

We have not been created out of nothing, but from primeval "ur-matter," atoms formed billions of years ago that have for a brief while been gathered into collections that think they are us. — Frank Close

Philosphy Quotes By Debasish Mridha

Theism is a philosophy of non-thinker. — Debasish Mridha

Philosphy Quotes By Tony Vigorito

Free will is the cutting edge of Creation, don't you see? The word spontaneity derives from the Latin sponte, meaning 'of one's free will.' Spontaneity is the impulse, the purest expression of freedom, and the impulse wants to do whatever it wants to do. But you are afraid of what others think, others who are just as afraid of what you think, and so you pussyfoot along the perimeter of the free-will zone, wilting like a wallflower. — Tony Vigorito

Philosphy Quotes By Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

I follow my father's philosphy; 'Do what is good, do what is right, and God will take care of the rest.' — Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo

Philosphy Quotes By Elbert Hubbard

Men are punished by their sins, not for them. — Elbert Hubbard

Philosphy Quotes By J. Mark Bertrand

Philosphy Quotes By Michael Dwinnell

The pursuit of historical relevance is an under appreciated endeavor. — Michael Dwinnell

Philosphy Quotes By A.C. Grayling

. . .the most important philosophical question we can each ask ourselves is, 'Do I or do I not wish to commit suicide?' If we say, 'No I do not,' as most of us would, it is because we have reasons for living, or at the very least real hope that we can find such reasons. Then the next question is: what are the reasons I personally have for saying 'No' to that question? The answer contains the meaning of my life. — A.C. Grayling

Philosphy Quotes By Minhal Mehdi

Pictures don't breathe. But some have life in them. — Minhal Mehdi

Philosphy Quotes By Arundhati Roy
