Famous Philosopher Quotes


********************

A loving heart is the truest wisdom.
Charles Dickens
A merry Christmas to everybody! A happy New Year to all the world!
Charles Dickens
Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I
have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I
have always thoroughly been in earnest.
Charles Dickens
I feel an earnest and humble desire, and shall till I die, to increase the stock of harmless
cheerfulness.
Charles Dickens
Do all the good you can, and make as little fuss about it as possible.
Charles Dickens
Happy, happy Christmas, that can win us back to the delusions of our childhood days,
recall to the old man the pleasures of his youth, and transport the traveler back to his
own fireside and quiet home!
Charles Dickens
I do come home at Christmas. We all do, or we all should. We all come home, or ought to
come home, for a short holiday - the longer, the better - from the great boarding school
where we are forever working at our arithmetical slates, to take, and give a rest.
Charles Dickens
I have always thought of Christmas as a good time; a kind, forgiving, generous, pleasant
time; a time when men and women seem to open their hearts freely, and so I say, God
bless Christmas!
Charles Dickens
It was always said of him, that he knew how to keep Christmas well, if any man alive
possessed the knowledge. May that be truly said of us, and all of us! And so, as Tiny Tim
observed, God Bless Us, Every One!
Charles Dickens
Time was with most of us, when Christmas Day, encircling all our limited world like a magic
ring, left nothing out for us to miss or seek; bound together all our home enjoyments,
affections, and hopes; grouped everything and everyone round the Christmas fire, and
make the little picture shining in our bright young eyes, complete.
Charles Dickens


********************

+ The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.
Francis Bacon
+ The worst solitude is to have no real friendships.
Francis Bacon
+ Time is the measure of business.
Francis Bacon
+ Without friends the world is but a wilderness. There is no man that imparted his joys to
his friends, but he joyeth the more; and no man that imparted his grieves to his friend,
but he grieveth the less.
Francis Bacon
+ I would live to study, and not study to live.
Francis Bacon
+ There is no comparison between that which is lost by not succeeding and that which is
lost by not trying.
Francis Bacon
+ Silence is the sleep that nourishes wisdom.
Francis Bacon
+ Cure the disease and kill the patient.
Francis Bacon
+ In every great time there is some one idea at work which is more powerful than any
other, and which shapes the events of the time and determines their ultimate issues.
Francis Bacon
+ Acorns were good until bread was found.
Francis Bacon

because they are not already common. (An Essay concerning Human Understanding)

There is a science that deals with manifesting desires. Many
people regard it as mystical or esoteric, but it's actually a
science like physics or algebra.

There are certain immutable laws that govern the process of
materializing wishes seemingly out of thin air, and once these
laws are complied with, anyone can make their dreams a reality
-- with absolute certainty.

Athiest would you rather the believers of God to stop preaching to you even though..?
Even though this preaching is out of love and kindnesa?? It is for the better of mankind. Or would you like the challenge to go on? Not in the sense where it forces you to believe through constant hassling and physical violence. As the Qur'an says "Let not religion be compulsory. Truth stands clear from error. Let them choose what they will. If they choose truth, then they shall be rewarded and those who choose falsehood shall be punished.". And surah 109:1-6 " In the name of The God, The Beneficient, The Merciful. O disbelievers! I worship not that which ye worship. Nor do you worship the God that I worship. And I will not worship that which you worship. Nor will ye worship that which you have been want to worship. For me my religion and for you yours." The Qur'an also tells us to leave the disbelievers alone. Leave them alone. This means we should not hassle them. It is okay to warn you but we should not do so constantly. So if I preach to an athiest about God(swt) once and the person tells me to leave them alone. Then it is my duty to stop preaching to them. It is out of respect. It is instructed by the Qur'an. However I am wondering do athiest deep down inside like the challenge and debate online?? As online is different than in real life?

Do I go for any of these?
I'm 20 and NEVER had a girlfriend. I've been really depressed about this for a long time, but can't see it changing. I've always been shy around girls and found/find it hard to communicate with them. However, I got told to put a profile on an internet dating site (begins with O and end with S with ASI in the middle incase I can't write the name on here haha!). After a couple of weeks, a girl started talking to me, and she seems really nice. She hasn't got a picture on there and hasn't much personal details, but I know she live 22 miles from me and works in a primary school as a helper for the kids. I feel a bit sceptical though, because of the lack of details, pictures, descriptions etc though. Also My friend invited me out to his Bday meal a few weeks back, and there was a girl there I've never met. She is STUNNING. I found out she is my mates ex, but they are still close friends. We got to know each other, and she told me how she still loves him and want to tell him, after about 2 weeks of me helping her think of ways to tell him, she plucked up the courage, and she told him. He told her he isn't interested, and now things are a little awkward between them. She has told me i'm a fantastic friend though and told me any girl would be lucky to have me. I really like her, she is beautiful, lovely girl, who I really would love to be with. Has anybody got any tips on either/both?!

Why did i deserve this? Is this my fault pls help - need advice pls. Feel sick and going to explode.?
I was with my guy nearly 10 yrs and we were engaged to get married. He was the love of my life, but I lost my job and was really miserable I told him he could do better. I found out he asked another girl out. When I found out, he said my fault for saying he could do better. I overheard him on the phone asking her out again after he said they were just pals. We stayed together, he never let me stay over in 10yrs except weekends, and when I finally asked him where we were going he always said yes we will get married soon and get a house. His pal started dyng of cancer & he cut himself off from me. He never wanted to see me cos he said he was stressed, yet he would play guitar on stage with his band etc and still go out on nights out. He seemed to be having a break down, and when I asked whats happeining he would bang his head against the wall.I told him to go abraod for a month on hols o be with his dying pal cos I was worried about him but then I discovered he was sleeping with his student behind my back after telling me 'he didnt think i was the right girl& I should just move on' When I found her in his house, he told me he only got engaged to use me till somebody better came along and loved me like a sister. I discovered he'd slept with her the day our house we bought for us went through so now Im stuck with it. He got sacked for having sex with a student who by the way was 20 yrs younger than him. He took a job abroad after dumping the girl. We got back in touch & he said he wanted to try and make it up which we did. We talked loads, said he love me and we would be fine etc. All was good then I found a photo of him & another woman on facebook and felt sick but worse part is, they are now engaged cos I have found out she is pregnant and they have moved in together. They are also getting married in the next year so he spent 10yrs with me telling me we would move in together get married and in the space of 1 year he has met, engaged and got her pregnant whilst telling me he loved me. I feel really sick, cos the way he was treating me was terrible and the things he said to me caused me to have a miscarriage. I didnt even know I was pregnant. I didnt tell him cos he kept saying he was stressed so I only told him after he seemed better but he didnt seem to care. His entire family have now told his woman they cant wait for the baby to be born etc, for the wedding etc and how he is with somebod more his class. He has told them so many lies about me& told everybody when his pal was dying I was selsfish & everytghing was about me but thats not true. I ex[planed how many girls tell their guys to go cancel our summer holls and go abroad for a month with their friend to have a break. His sister is the only one that has realy hugged me when I found him cheating & she said he is an idiot. His mother just shrugged when I told her he cheated with his tudent who is 20yrs younger and got sacked. she didnt really care and just said 'oh well, boys will be boys' He is 42 yrs old, he's not a boy. I feel so sick and just been walking round in a daze, my mind feels like exploding coson ly just found out about her pregnancy and they are living apart, hes in London, she's in greece cos she works there but hes moved into her house in london. I feel so sick and punched in the stomach. ps i was only out of work 5 weeks. Nibesh whats that mean?
