The intuition of free will gives us the truth.

Corliss Lamont Philosopher

The highest ethical duty is often to discard the outmoded ethics of the past.

Corliss Lamont Philosopher

I believe firmly that in making ethical decisions, man has the prerogative of true freedom of choice.

Corliss Lamont Philosopher

Intuition does not in itself amount to knowledge, yet cannot be disregarded by philosophers and psychologists.

Corliss Lamont Philosopher

Education is a crutch with which the foolish attack the wise to prove that they are not idiots.

Karl Kraus Writer

To believe your own thought, to believe that what is true for you in your private heart is true for all men that is genius.

Ralph Waldo Emerson Essayist

Now, blessings light on him that first invented sleep!Ê It covers a man all over, thoughts and all, like a cloak; it is meat for the hungry, drink for the thirsty, heat for the cold, and cold for the hot.Ê It is the current coin that purchases all the pleasures of the world cheap, and the balance that sets the king and the shepherd, the fool and the wise man, even.

Miguel De Cervantes Novelist

Tolkien can say that Aragorn became king and reigned for a hundred years, and he was wise and good. But Tolkien doesn’t ask the question: What was Aragorn’s tax policy? Did he maintain a standing army? What did he do in times of flood and famine? And what about all these orcs? By the end of the war, Sauron is gone but all of the orcs aren’t gone – they’re in the mountains. Did Aragorn pursue a policy of systematic genocide and kill them? Even the little baby orcs, in their little orc cradles?

George R. R. Martin Novelist

As Benjamin Franklin said, 'Those things that hurt, instruct.' It is for this reason that wise people learn not to dread but actually to welcome problems and actually to welcome the pain of problems.

M. Scott Peck Psychiatrist

There is no gown or garment that worse becomes a woman than when she will be wise.

Martin Luther Monk
