Adversity's sweet milk, philosophy.
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
There is something in this more than natural, if philosophy could find it out.
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
There are more things in heaven and earth, Horatio,
Than are dreamt of in your philosophy.
Hold thou the good; define it well;
For fear divine Philosophy
Should push beyond her mark, and be
Procuress to the Lords of Hell.
It goes much against my stomach. Hast any philosophy in thee, shepherd?
How charming is divine philosophy!
Not harsh and crabbed, as dull fools suppose,
But musical as is Apollo's lute,
And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets
Where no crude surfeit reigns.
Triumphal arch, that fill'st the sky
When storms prepare to part,
I ask not proud Philosophy
To teach me what thou art.
A little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
This same philosophy is a good horse in the stable, but an arrant jade on a journey.
Philosophy is nothing but discretion.
Thy steady temper, Portius,
Can look on guilt, rebellion, fraud, and Caesar,
In the calm lights of mild philosophy.
Histories make men wise; poets, witty; the mathematics, subtile; natural philosophy, deep; moral, grave; logic and rhetoric, able to contend.
What is the first business of one who studies philosophy? To part with self-conceit. For it is impossible for any one to begin to learn what he thinks that he already knows.
We spent them not in toys, in lusts, or wine,
But search of deep philosophy,
Wit, eloquence, and poetry;
Arts which I lov'd, for they, my friend, were thine.
I have read somewhere or other,—in Dionysius of Halicarnassus, I think,—that history is philosophy teaching by examples.
The bosom-weight, your stubborn gift,
That no philosophy can lift.
Philosophy triumphs easily over past evils and future evils; but present evils triumph over it.
Vain wisdom all and false philosophy.
Asked what he gained from philosophy, he answered, "To do without being commanded what others do from fear of the laws."
There was an awful rainbow once in heaven:
We know her woof, her texture; she is given
In the dull catalogue of common things.
Philosophy will clip an angel's wings.
