A few good quotes.. know who said them?
These are just a few quotes that I have collected over the years. See if you know who said them. Could be: Aristotle, Douglas Adams, Daniel C. Dennett, Euripides, Eleanor Roosevelt, Henry Kissinger, Immanuel Kant, Socrates, Bertrand Russell.
1) "...happiness is the highest good, being a realization and perfect practice of virtue, which some can attain, while others have little or none of it..."
2) "Power is the ultimate aphrodisiac."
3) "The only meaning of life worth caring about is one that can withstand our best efforts to examine it"
4) Human beings, who are almost unique in having the ability to learn from the experience of others, are also remarkable for their apparent disinclination to do so.
5) The best and safest thing is to keep a balance in your life, acknowledge the great powers around us and in us. If you can do that, and live that way, you are really a wise man.
6) I think that somehow, we learn who we really are and then live with that decision.
7) Remember that there is nothing stable in human affairs; therefore avoid undue elation in prosperity, or undue depression in adversity.
8) The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.
9) 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.
10) Science is organized knowledge. Wisdom is organized life.
