Quotes at Random, to think about.

The word "Philosophy" is derived from the Ancient Greek - philosophía (compounded from phílos: friend, or lover and sophía: wisdom). To quote from WikiPedia, "Philosophy is the discipline concerned with the questions of what is the right way to live (ethics), what sorts of things ultimately exist and what are their essential natures (metaphysics), what is to count as genuine knowledge (epistemology), and what are the correct principles of reasoning (logic).

I have 2 signs in my dojo - 1 from the sergeant in Full Metal Jacket, I'm not repeating it but if you know it you'll understand my philosophy (and my instructor's philosophy about me);
the second is much more repeatable - 'It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog!'

Many good ones.....but I think I love this most.....maybe I have to study his Religion :

"Believe nothing no matter where you read it, or who said it, no matter if I have said it, unless it agrees with your own
reason, and your own common sense."
-Buddha (536 B.C.-483 B.C.)


For those who wonder, like me, Who is Buddha :

Buddha
A title given to successive teachers (past and future) of Buddhism, although it usually denotes the founder of Buddhism, Siddhartha Gautama (c.563 bc–c.480 bc). Although born an Indian prince (in what is now Nepal), he renounced his kingdom, wife, and child to become an ascetic, taking religious instruction until he attained enlightenment (nirvana) through meditation beneath a bo tree in the village of Bodhgaya. He then taught all who wanted to learn, regardless of sex, class, or caste, until his death. `Buddha' means `enlightened' in Sanskrit.
