What every genuine philosopher (every genuine man, in fact) craves most is praise although the philosophers generally call it recognition!
William James
When I look upon seamen, men of science and philosophers, man is the wisest of all beings; when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man.
Diogenes
When philosophers try to be politicians they generally cease to be philosophers.
Walter Lippmann
Women do not often fall in love with philosophers.
Samuel Richardson
Women make us poets, children make us philosophers.
Malcolm De Chazal
You philosophers are lucky men. You write on paper and paper is patient. Unfortunate Empress that I am, I write on the susceptible skins of living beings.
Catherine the Great
