Philosophy wisdom quotes
1) “The philosophy of the school room in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next.”
-Abraham Lincoln
School goes from kindergarten all the way to grad school, and being philosophical through the education of school in one generation will be the philosophy of government in the next. This means that we can lead the entire world with philosophy alone. Philosophy is the love of wisdom. Wisdom cannot be proven to be able to be taught or achieved in any way. Whichever says otherwise is merely a perspective alone with no solid proof to back it up. Christians on the other hand believe that wisdom is the voice of God that is translated into an idea in our mind. If school can actually teach wisdom then the philosophy of government would signify a leadership figure of the highest kind ever known to mankind.
2) “Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery.”
-Winston Churchill
Socialism is known as a political system where the community or the government owns and controls the major means of production, such as factories, land, and resources, instead of private individuals. It is a philosophy of failure because it resembles a king and servants. Back in ancient times, there were kings and queens, but there isn't one in our time of generation. Even when the world did change a lot the core mentality of socialism would be what makes a certain figure better than everyone else. Citizens have no power to have a right to stand up for oneself, in which will stir up a big problem amongst humanity. Citizens having no right to stand up for oneself would be the creed of ignorance on the government's side. The mentality of socialism would be to see the people of the world in the scope of unfairness of human nature, and therefore to build rules and laws in accordance to this belief. This mentality stirs up the gospel of envy from the citizens onto the government because there is no way to make things fair because of the negativity of humanity. Both the government and the citizens will go through an equal share of misery, because the citizens will fight back for their rights and there is no way to make an unfair nature into a fair one, in which the government cannot do anything about it since they chose to stick to the negative perspective of humanity.
3) “This is my simple religion. There is no need for temples; no need for complicated philosophy. Our own brain, our own heart is our temple; the philosophy is kindness.”
-Dalai Lama
A Christian doesn't have to go to church to serve and praise God. Many Christians see the negativity of how other Christians will only fail them and that they are even worse than the people of the world. People will always fail each other because of the scope we see each other in, and this will never change. Complicated philosophy has its way of not being able to be fully understood or understood at all, and therefore the point of lesson will come down to ruin. It should be simple for us to fully comprehend, in order to apply it to our life. Our own brain and our own heart is the temple of God, because God created us in His image. Meaning, our body isn't actually ours, but it is God's. The philosophy in being kind is to see the world in the scope of positivity, in which is with our brain, and our thoughts would be what chemically affects our heart. Being kind is a simple matter, especially when defining a religion, but we must know it all, in order to step onto the stepping stone of being kind and maintain being kind towards others.
4) “Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art... It has no survival value (a quality in the struggle of existence); rather it is one of those things that give value to survival.”
-C. S. Lewis
Friendship is unnecessary, like philosophy, like art in the sense that it doesn't have a quality in the struggle of existence. Friendship is unnecessary if we see humanity as a whole as not trust worthy. This side of perspective about people isn't wrong, but it is the negative way to see humanity. The positive side would be trust people even when we know we can't. Friendship is seen to be the same in having no survival value like how philosophy and art is like if we keep ourself apart from people. However, the love of friendship, philosophy and art is what gives value to survival. Therefore, love and passion is what triggers us to see what we do and who we are to be what has value when living in this world. There are hardships of many kinds in life, and love and passion is the driving force of what we see the value of life to be.
5) “The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness.”
-John Kenneth Galbraith
Modern conservatives believe that individuals possess the right to life, liberty, and property, and freedom from the restrictions of arbitrary force. It is man's oldest exercise in moral philosophy in the sense that it took the world this long to come to mind that fairness in a world of unfairness should be put to action. Conservatives constantly search for a superior moral justification for selfishness, in order to make things right. Selfishness will always be a part of humanity, because of how the world is for what it is. It isn't that there are more and more things to be selfish about rather than having selfishness exist in society.
