Famous Philosopher Quotes


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

We are all prone to the malady of the introvert who, with the manifold spectacle of the
world spread out before him, turns away and gazes only upon the emptiness within. But let
us not imagine there is anything grand about the introvert's unhappiness.
Bertrand Russell
To conquer fear is the beginning of wisdom.
Bertrand Russell
Our instinctive emotions are those that we have inherited from a much more dangerous
world, and contain, therefore, a larger portion of fear than they should.
Bertrand Russell
There is no nonsense so arrant that it cannot be made the creed of the vast majority by
adequate government action.
Bertrand Russell
The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your
reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather
than hostile.
Bertrand Russell
The most valuable things in life are not measured in monetary terms. The really important
things are not houses and lands, stocks and bonds, automobiles and real state, but
friendships, trust, confidence, empathy, mercy, love and faith.
Bertrand Russell
To be happy in this world, especially when youth is past, it is necessary to feel oneself not
merely an isolated individual whose day will soon be over, but part of the stream of life
slowing on from the first germ to the remote and unknown future.
Bertrand Russell
It is preoccupation with possessions, more than anything else, that prevents men from
living freely and nobly.
Bertrand Russell
Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.
Bertrand Russell
This idea of weapons of mass exterminations utterly horrible and is something which no
one with one spark of humanity can tolerate. I will not pretend to obey a government
which is organizing a mass massacre of mankind.


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

Sophocles

# I see that all of us who live are nothing but images or insubstantial shadow.

Sophocles
# Gratitude to gratitude always gives birth.

Sophocles
# There is no greater evil for men than the constraint of fortune.

Sophocles
# But this is a true saying among men: the gifts of enemies are no gifts and profitless.

Sophocles
# A human being is only breath and shadow.

Sophocles
# A wise doctor does not mutter incantations over a sore that needs the knife.

Sophocles
# Trouble brings trouble upon trouble.

Sophocles
# I do not care for such speech in the midst of ills; harsh words, even when just, still
sting. Sophocles
# For most men friendship is a faithless harbor.

Sophocles
# Each say following another, either hastening or putting off our deathwhat pleasure
does it... Sophocles

Famous Plato quotes from Phaedrus

* Beloved Pan, and all ye other gods who haunt this place, give me beauty in the
inward soul; and may the outward and inward man be at one. May I reckon the wise to be
the wealthy, and may I have such a quantity of gold as none but the temperate can
carry.

* Friends have all things in common.

Famous Plato quotes from The Symposium

* And the true order of going, or being led by another, to the things of love, is to begin
from the beauties of earth and mount upwards for the sake of that other beauty, using
these steps only, and from one going on to two, and from two to all fair forms to fair
practices, and from fair practices to fair notions, until from fair notions he arrives at the
notion of absolute beauty, and at last knows what the essence of beauty is.

* Beholding beauty with the eye of the mind, he will be enabled to bring forth, not
images of beauty, but realities (for he has hold not of an image but of a reality), and
bringing forth and nourishing true virtue to become the friend of God and be immortal, if
mortal man may.

Famous Plato quotes from The Apology

* Socrates is a doer of evil, who corrupts the youth; and who does not believe in the
gods of the state, but has other new divinities of his own. Such is the charge.

* Either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness, or, as men say,
there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another. ...Now if death be
of such a nature, I say that to die is to gain; for eternity is then only a single night.

* No evil can happen to a good man, neither in life nor after death.

* The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways - I to die, and you to live.
Which is better God only knows.

Famous Plato quotes from Phaedo

* Man is a prisoner who has no right to open the door of his prison and run away...A
man should wait, and not take his own life until God summons him.

* Must not all things at the last be swallowed up in death?

* Will you not allow that I have as much of the spirit of prophesy in me as the swans?
For they, when they perceive that they must die, having sung all their life long, do then
sing more lustily than ever, rejoicing in the thought that they are going to the god they
serve.

Famous Plato quotes from The Republic

Book I

* When there is an income tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust less on the
same amount of income.

* Mankind censure injustice fearing that they may be the victims of it, and not because
they shrink from committing it.

* The beginning is the most important part of the work.

Book II

* Then the first thing will be to establish a censorship of the writers of fiction, and let
the censors receive any tale of fiction which is good, and reject the bad; and we will
desire mothers and nurses to tell their children the authorized ones only.

* If we mean our future guardians to regard the habit of quarrelling among themselves
as of all things the basest, should any word be said to them of the wars in heaven, and of
the plots and fightings of the gods against one another, for they are not true. No, we shall
never mention the battles of the giants, or let them be embroidered on garments; and we
shall be silent about the innumerable other quarrels of gods and heroes with their friends
and relatives. If they would only believe us we would tell them that quarrelling is unholy,
and that never up to this time has there been any quarrel between citizens; this is what
old men and old women should being by telling children; and when they grow up, the poets
also should be told to compose for them in a similar spirit.

Other Plato Quotes

* There is only one good, which is knowledge, and one evil, which is ignorance.

* Wherever it has been established that it is shameful to be involved with sexual
relationships with men, that is due to evil on the part of the rulers, and to cowardice on
the part of the governed.

* The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared to that
of which we are ignorant.

* No one is more hated than he who speaks the truth.

* One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics, is that you end up being
governed by your inferiors.

* Ignorance, the root and the stem of every evil.

* Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly, while bad people will
find a way around the laws.

* At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet.

people regard it as mystical or esoteric, but it's actually a

10 points for best answer.pleeease help, what can be the possible remedies in this case....?
What can be the possible remedies under section 8 of the Human Rights Act 1998 for john? EBA (buddhist association) invited famous Tibetan Lama Sogyal (senior buddhist figure) to a special Buddhist Service to be held at Ace Mill in Entwhistle, on Friday 28 October 2011. Ace Mill is situated opposite the factory of Electro plc. In front of the mill there is a large open half-circular roadway. The Lama Sogyal believes that all public Buddhist services should be held in the open air. There have been (uncorroborated) allegations on various blogs and Facebook sites in the internet that Electro plc makes components for stun guns and supply supply them to the Chinese Government.Also, that Chinese troops have already used stun guns in Tibet on Buddhist monks in support of the Dalai Lama. EBA chose this date deliberately, having found out that a high-powered Chinese Government Visiting Delegation was scheduled to visit Electro plc?s premises on that day. EBA published in its website the programme for the event. The service was planned for 11.00 am and the congregation were then invited to accompany the Lama Sogyal across the road to Electro plc?s main entrance gates. EBA planned the service to include a public sermon and address from trustee of EBA, and a public reply by the Lama Sogyal. Trustees?s address would have included a denunciation of the Chinese Government in respect of its oppression in Tibet. The Lama Sogyal would have echoed that denunciation, and added criticism of his own of the Chinese Government in relation to oppression of Tibetan Buddhists.This was advertised on EBA's website. However, on 18 October 2011, the Chief Constable of Greater Entwhistle Police (?GEP?), having been alerted by the Chinese Embassy in the UK to the EBA website contents, issued a notice to EBA trustees under s14 Public Order Act 1986, imposing the following conditions on the EBA service planned for 28 October 2011: 1. any service and event to be held by the EBA between 19 October and 31 October 2011 should be held in an alternative location in Greater Entwhistle, at least 10 miles from Electro plc?s main gates. 2. the maximum number of demonstrators shall be 20. 3. the maximum duration of the service and demonstration shall be 2 hours. 4. the service and event should be held within a building, and not in the open-air. In a separate letter, the Chief Constable asked EBA to advise its members that if any prospective demonstrator seeks to trespass on any part of Electro plc?s premises on 28 October 2011, GEP would arrest them under powers not limited to, but including, powers contained in s128 Serious Organised Crime and Police Act 2005. In light of the above, EBA reluctantly cancelled the service, whilst protesting in writing to the Chief Constable.John and Mary Eva, residents of Cornwall, who had booked non-refundable flights from Exeter Airport to Manchester Airport (and road transfers), and partly non-refundable hotel accommodation at a five-star hotel, in order to participate in the advertised service. They lost the opportunity to hear a sermon from the Lama Sogyal, plus over £1,800. Question Can John and Mary Eva use the Human Rights Act 1998 to challenge the decision of the Chief Constable and claim for their £1,800 losses? SECTION 8 REMEDIES - what can be the possible possible remedies? How would the issue be brought to the court, through Judicial Review or through using breach of human rights as a defence in a case? any cases to go with it?

Is Islam the Most tolerant religion? Please share your views on these facts, please?
A few facts about Islam: In Islam: -Allah will not judge a person by their looks, race, gender, wealth, status etc, but only the goodness in their heart (piety) -Islam is colour blind - it is for everyone to embrace. The prophet Muhammed PBUH said in his last sermon, that a black man is not superior to a white man and vice versa, and that a arab is not superior to a non-arab and vice versa. -The first muezzin (caller to prayer) and the 1st person to enter Paradise will be Bilal (peace on him) who was a black/african man, who lived a life of poverty and sorrows and who had no status in society since he was so poor. -In Islam, there is no such thing as original sin, sin Islam is fair and everyone is accountable for their Own sins. Also, those who embrace Islam, have all their past sins wiped away. -Muslim men And women will get pure/virgin spouses in Heaven -Murder and hurting even people's feelings is forbidden in Islam, regardless of whether they are non-muslim or muslim, Islam respects all people and expects its followers to do the same. -Islam teaches kindness to animals, including dogs and pigs. Muslims cannot harm these creatures, in fact, if the opportunity comes, we should help these animals if they are ever in pain or if they are hungry. In the Quran, there is a chapter (surah Kaf) which is about a faithful loyal dog companion who helps the group of good muslim men. -In Islam it is ILLEGAL to force people embrace Islam. It is also illegal to force a muslim to follow Islamic teachings e.g. wearing hijab, or fasting etc, since Islam is about a person accepting it sincerely in their hearts, not through force. -Islam is tolerant to homosexuals, since it does not wish death upon them. Also, in Islam, homosexual thoughts aren't forbidden, it is only the acts of homosexuality that are seen as sins. -Islam tells us to look after our neighbours, regardless of their religion and race. Islam also tells us to look after our parents till the day they die, and not kick them into old age homes. -Islam honours women and gives her the right to do what she wants. She has a choice to wear hijab, she has a choice to divorce, she has the right to keep all her money to herself, she has the right work, she has the right to educate, her testimony is NOT half of a man's- if she is raped, her testimony alone is enough to convict a rapist (with capital punishment --> Islamic rule) etc. -A man and woman are equal in Islam, the only thing that is different is their dress code since men and women have different physical appearances and different minds/mentality. -In Islam, all muslims Must give charity, unless they are extremely poor themselves. -In Islam, there is a pillar 'Hajj', where millions of people go to, to worship their one Creator. There are people there from all colours, statuses and ethnic backgrounds, but during Hajj they are all equal as they wear the same uniform (ihram) and must do the same acts of worship. Allah will not favour a rich man over a poor man, rather Allah favours the person who has the most love and sincerity in their heart. -In Islam, a martyr means a person who dies while doing something good e.g. dying while saving someone, dying for one's country, etc. -Islam does Not disallow muslims from making non-muslim friends. This is a misconception. Islam just disallows making them a 'protector'. Islam does not wish to put burdens on non-muslims by making them protectors of people who they are not like. And there are many MANY more points about Islam being a tolerant religion, but there is limited space :( Please feel free to add!! :D Take care Peace & Love - Salam alaykum <3 @ How can you judge a religion by its followers? It was GOD who made Islam, not the humans who call themselves muslims, also the Saudi arabians did Not create Islam either :). Those muslims who are committing such crimes e.g. killing people, are going Against Islam and are sinners. They will be punished by Allah for their evil sins. Honour killing is Forbidden in Islam. Murder is not allowed. Only capital punishment of notorious criminals e.g. rapists is allowed. Forced marriages are also forbidden in Islam. Interesting read about women's rights in Islam. *I am So happy to be female + Muslim! woot!* http://books.google.co.uk/books?vid=ISBN1897940637&redir_esc=y :D @'Death to apostates': This is alos another misconception about Islam. Islam believes in Free will! Therefore, if a muslim decides to leave Islam, they are not to be killed according to Islam. They can live their life as a non-muslim, and they will be judged by Allah on this. Humans are not the judge of someone's life's choices, so long as their choice does not harm/cause death to several people. As I said above, only nototrious criminals e.g. mass murderers and rapists are put to death in Islam. @Stoning: Stoning in Islam, for those who do adultery is ONLY allowed IF the adulterer gives PERMISSION to be stoned e.g. if they regret for their sin and want to be cleansed in this world (since the punishment in Hell is far greater). Islam is a religion which is tolerant and does Not force people. :) @'Death to apostates': This is alos another misconception about Islam. Islam believes in Free will!

He was in a war with them, because as we know, there is always wars when people fight for their rights, or fight for their protection. Muslims were many a times endangered, their safety and treaties were violated many times, and there was no choice but to go to war to fight for their right to live. Wouldn't you fight for your life, if someone attacked you? Islam is NOT antisemitic - if it was indeed that, then why is Virgin Mary (a JEWess) honored in Islam? Why does Islam respect the 'people of the book' a.k.a the Jews and Christians? Why does Islam allow Muslim men to marry Jews and christians? Why did Prophet Muhammed show love to the Jewess who abused him 9and she soon accepted Islam after she saw his kindness/sincerity)? Does Islam sound like a antisemitic religion to you? I'm a muslim and I am not that - because Islam teaches me to love All regardless of religion, colour, creed
