⇛ Avicenna (Philosopher)

Copy Quote Text

That whose existence is necessary must necessarily be one essence.

Avicenna Philosopher

Therefore in medicine we ought to know the causes of sickness and health.

Avicenna Philosopher

The world is divided into men who have wit and no religion and men who have religion and no wit.

Avicenna Philosopher

The knowledge of anything, since all things have causes, is not acquired or complete unless it is known by its causes.

Avicenna Philosopher

"The true essence of humankind is kindness. There are other qualities which come from education or knowledge, but it is essential, if one wishes to be a genuine human being and impart satisfying meaning to one's existence, to have a good heart."

Dalai Lama

Hip hop is at its essence a folk music, because it speaks the language that people are still speaking at ground zero, it speaks the language that people speak on the streets.

Talib Kweli Rapper

The field is a halfway house, halfway between the detail of those intimately known places and the ignorance of a landscape view ... The essence of a field is that the cultural accommodates the natural there. The human being makes room for and makes use of those organisms that are not him. In that way the field is a poem to symbiosis, and a human contract with the natural.

Adam Nicolson Author

We can actually put the essence of neurosis in a single word: blaming - or damning.

Albert Ellis Psychologist

Strip away all the assumptions about what competition is supposed to do, all the claims in its behalf that we accept and repeat reflexively. What you have left is the essence of the concept: mutually exclusive goal attainment (MEGA). One person succeeds only if another does not. From this uncluttered perspective, it seems clear right away that something is drastically wrong with such an arrangement. How can we do our best when we are spending our energies trying to make others lose--and fearing that they will make us lose?

Alfie Kohn Author

Silence... is the essence of the music itself, the vital ingredient that makes it possible for the music to exist at all.

Alfred Brendel Pianist
