The man form is higher than the angel form; of all forms it is the highest. Man is the highest being in creation, because he aspires to freedom.

Bertrand Russell
Most mothers are instinctive philosophers.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
There is no social entity with a good that undergoes some sacrifice for its own good. There are only individual people, different individual people, with their own individual lives. Using one of these people for the benefit of others, uses him and benefits the others. Nothing more.

Whoever makes something having bought or contracted for all other held resources used in the process (transferring some of his holdings for these cooperating factors), is entitled to it. The situation is not one of something's getting made, and there being an open question of who is to get it. Things come into the world already attached to people having entitlements over them.
Robert Nozick
My only wish is…to transform friends of God into friends of man, believers into thinkers, devotees of prayer into devotees of work, candidates for the hereafter into students of the world, Christians who, by their own procession and admission, are "half animal, half angel" into persons, into whole persons.
Ludwig Feuerbach
The conception of worth, that each person is an end per se, is not a mere abstraction. Our interest in it is not merely academic. Every outcry against the oppression of some people by other people, or against what is morally hideous is the affirmation of the principle that a human being as such is not to be violated. A human being is not to be handled as a tool but is to be respected and revered.
Felix Adler
I decided to teach because I think that any person who studies philosophy has to be involved actively.
Angela Davis
From each as they choose, to each as they are chosen.
Robert Nozick

I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn't wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.
Bertrand Russell
My philosophy? Simplicity plus variety.
Hank Stram
We think we can play with them. We've got to be able to fire off the ball on offense and play good defense. We've also got to be able to run the ball. That's my philosophy.
Monty Stumbaugh
He is a man who is not tortured by doubt over the correctness of his judicial philosophy.
Bruce Fein
Our philosophy here with both SAT and AP is that we want to encourage all students to take the test.

Mike Sherman

What kept coming up is I have such a different philosophy about the game than what April has and what the national team has, ... It's not fun anymore.
Tiffeny Milbrett
Our team is still based primarily on pitching and defense. This is just a bonus for us. We have the same philosophy that we've always had. Sometimes you're just able to hit the ball hard — and hit it in the air.
Drew Stubbs
His philosophy is to swarm to the ball. If someone misses a tackle, another guy will be right behind.

George Gurdjieff
If I were the Chiefs, I'd start looking to defense. Gunther Cunningham has been great, but the Chiefs' defense has just been bad. I would want to get myself a young, energetic coach who can handle the grind and is excited about the grind and brings a defensive philosophy to my football team.
Mark Schlereth
Our philosophy then was to schedule one major non-conference game - home and home. That was the game.
Deloss Dodds

Patrick Mcgaha
Drama is action, sir, action and not confounded philosophy.
Luigi Pirandello

Clarence Thomas

Chris Finnegan
In Kyudo philosophy, you don't aim--you become one with the target. Then, in fact, there's nothing to aim at. I find it works well with women, too. Give it a try.

Curt Weeden
What one decides to do in crisis depends on one's philosophy of life, and that philosophy cannot be changed by an incident. If one hasn't any philosophy in crises, others make the decision.

PLATONIC, adj. Pertaining to the philosophy of Socrates. Platonic Love is a fool's name for the affection between a disability and a frost.
Ambrose Bierce

Anthony Fasano

My philosophy from looking at Dilbert was the art must not matter that much, because he was the biggest hit of the day, ... He didn't draw that well and neither did I. I figured if he could do it, maybe I had a chance.
Stephan Pastis
I feel like every year we're going to be there, it's whether we're going to be good enough to win it. So we've tried to change some things philosophy-wise, change some coaching philosophy, just re-evaluate what we can do better.
Brian Hucks
Our philosophy is to have an offense for every defense thrown at you. We try to respond to whatever we see. We just like to keep it simple. (Kennedy) is getting better, and he's having better decisions to make.
Clay Norton
Europe was created by history. America was created by philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher
There's no perfect formula, but the NSW system has too many exclusions and exemptions. We agree with the philosophy, but there has to be a simpler formula.
Jack Haley
We knew 3-point shooting was their game. There's a lot of irony in it in that we go on the same philosophy.
Megan Ronhovde

William Dembski

Paul Jorgensen
There seems to be less of a collector's philosophy among people and the products they own.
Dusty Hill
There's no Jesse Lumsden, but Mac's offensive philosophy hasn't changed much. Their quarterback, Adam Archibald, is a big guy. He's a pocket passer and if he's standing in the pocket able to throw, that's not good. It means we're not getting to him.
Paul Gleason
She definitely had a different philosophy than our organization does about these animals.
Tammy Quist
We've opened ourselves to a lot of markets because of that philosophy. Tell us what you need. We'll try to figure out how to make it.

Shawn Mccuen
The problem with the Greenspan Fed is that it has been a 'make it up as you go along' Fed. There is no philosophy with Greenspan. He changes his mind about all of this stuff.
Jim Bianco
It was Harvey's philosophy towards life. He would continue to push the envelope. He is relentless in his passion for the movie. Harvey is one of a kind.
Randy Spendlove
Skepticism is the first step on the road to philosophy.

Corey Bosarge
If I was mistaken in some way, please forgive me, but stop with this constant philosophy of forgiving and forgetting.
Mariana Fulger

Rock Gullickson
It's heavy, but also it's sort of the philosophy of Hospice that it's not about death. It's about life. When you're able to confront the realities of death, you're able to live life as long as you can.
Landon Adams
Words, without power, is mere philosophy.
Muhammad Iqbal

Damien Woody
There is no philosophy without the art of ignoring objections.
Joseph Marie De Maistre
The philosophy of this place is general cooking for people who cook for the people they love. This is basic cooking for people you care about.

Andre Payne
Europe will never be like America. Europe is a product of history. America is a product of philosophy.
Margaret Thatcher
It's a state of mind. It's a sport, but it's also a philosophy.

Ludwig Wittgenstein
It was founded to afford people to get an education. That philosophy still exists.
Robert Moore

Frank Arnesen

Isaac Asimov
Generally speaking, the errors in religion are dangerous; those in philosophy only ridiculous.

Kris Draper
Our philosophy from the beginning has been to build a well known brand.
Gary Gerdemann
There is no philosophy which is not founded upon knowledge of the phenomena, but to get any profit from this knowledge it is absolutely necessary to be a mathematician.

Rick Clunn
Our philosophy has always been to leave a community better for us having been there.
Tori Rosenthal
I understand the commissions' philosophy of creating opportunity, but you are not going to get recreational opportunity. You are already getting that. What you are going to get is harvest opportunity. The people that are out there already have recreational opportunity.
Phil Durocher
We live in a world in which politics has replaced philosophy.

Alice Roosevelt Longworth
They did a great job of getting to the free-throw line, and of course my philosophy is hit your free throws and you win.
John Thatcher
Fashion is about change and, for me, the philosophy is always the same ... that the clothes have to be really modern and make women look really beautiful, ...

Calvin Klein
My philosophy, like color television, is all there in black and white.
Monty Python
I don't believe in that philosophy. But I also have a responsibility to my booksellers to look at all the options, and that is an option.
