"Philosophy . . .consists chiefly in suggesting unintelligible answers to insoluble problems."

"I do not know what the heart of a rascal may be, but I know what is in the heart of an honest man; it is horrible."

"Society can and does execute its own mandates: and if it issues wrong mandates instead of right, or any mandates at all in things with which it ought not to meddle, it practises a social tyranny more formidable than many kinds of political oppression..."

"A truth is not necessary, because we negatively are not able to conceive the actual existence of the opposite thereof;but a truth is necessary when we positively are able to apprehend that the negation thereof includes an inevitable contradiction. It is not that that we can see how the opposite comes to be true, but it is that the opposite can not possibly be true."

"Question the answers, I repeated every class. Reevaluate your conclusions when the evidence changes."

"Fugly Fishmates For every woman that looks like a hatchet-faced haddockthere's an equally ugly flounder-faced man with even fewer prospects."

"Life always begins with triumph but tends to end with tragedy."

"American Foreign Policy [10w] Foreign Policy requires dealing from the bottom of the deck."

"Most of us form estimates of our intelligence, wisdom, and moral fiber that are considerably higher than an objective estimate would warrant; no doubt 90 percent of us think ourselves well above average along these lines."

"Believe God for something today. Prayer is the key to connecting with God and allowing Him to speak to your spirit. Open your heart and free your mind."

"When we sense something, it is due to the movement of atoms in space. When I see the moon it is because "moon atoms"penetrate my eye."

"Reason may be employed to support faith as well as to destroy it."

"When you gain higher consciousness, your consciousness becomes universal and you become ageless, endless, and universal."

"The positivists have a simple solution: the world must be divided into that which we can say clearly and the rest, which we had better pass over in silence. But can anyone conceive of a more pointless philosophy, seeing that what we can say clearly amounts to next to nothing? If we omitted all that is unclear, we would probably be left completely uninteresting and trivial tautologies."

"In meetings philosophy might work,on the field practicality works."

"One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion."

"Would Crazy Horse have spent this much to remodel a kitchen?"
