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
You philosophers are sages in your maxims, and fools in your conduct. – Madame Gout to Mr. Benjamin Franklin, “Dialogue between Franklin and the Gout,”
There are only two forces in the world, the sword and the spirit. In the long run the sword will always be conquered by the spirit. – Napoleon Bonaparte
