Arthashastra
Philosophy is the study of wisdom.
Francesco Patrizi
Truly, just as he has no ears, so these eyes are closed to the light of truth... This kind of people thinks that philosophy is some kind of book, like the Aeneid or the Odyssey, but truth must be sought not in the world, not in nature , but in comparison of texts.

First of all, I would like to find out what philosophy is... The word "philosophy" denotes the practice of wisdom and that by wisdom is meant not only prudence in affairs, but also a perfect knowledge of everything that a person can know; this same knowledge that guides life itself, serves the preservation of health, as well as discoveries in all sciences.
Rene Descartes

The times of philosophical systems are over; now is the time for criticism. The destruction of systems has already become a large and magnificent system, although it is like destroyed systems and has no chapters, paragraphs and categories. Improving human life is what philosophy is all about; it may develop in any way it wants, as long as this constitutes its meaning and purpose.
Mikael Lazarevich Nalbandyan
Philosophy must reflect the life of the people, and this life at every step, at every phase must give rise to a new point of view. The systems created in the past were stuck in one place, they had already outlived their usefulness the moment their last thought was put on paper. Life moves forward, and so does its philosophy. For those who see philosophy only in books with philosophical titles, what significance can philosophy have in the life of some common people? Blind people! His philosophy stems from his own life. As life is, so is its philosophy.
Mikael Lazarevich Nalbandyan
No one can escape the impressions of his surroundings; and what is called a new philosophy or a new religion is usually not so much the creation of new ideas as a new direction given to ideas already common among modern thinkers.

Edward George Bulwer-Lytton
He who values little things for their own sake is an empty man; he who values them for the sake of the conclusions that can be drawn from them, or for the sake of the benefits that can be obtained from them, is a philosopher.
Edward George Bulwer-Lytton
Metaphysics is the attempt of the mind to rise above the mind.
Thomas Carlyle
Ancient philosophy was a mill, not a road. It consisted of questions that revolved in a circle, of contradictions that always started over again. There was enormous tension and no progress at all.
Thomas Babington Macaulay
The new philosophy is a philosophy that never rests, never reaching its goal, perfection. Its law is progress. The area that was not visible yesterday is today the scene of its action, tomorrow it will be its starting point.
Thomas Babington Macaulay
According to Plato, man is created for philosophy; according to Bacon, philosophy is for man.
Thomas Babington Macaulay
A philosophy that can teach a person to be completely happy while experiencing unbearable pain is much better than a philosophy that softens pain... A philosophy that fights greed is much better than a philosophy that develops laws for the protection of property.

Arthur Schopenhauer
Sayings of great philosophers
Aurelius Augustine
It is important to know whether one person should love another for his own sake, or for the sake of something else. When we love a person for his own sake, we enjoy him; when we love him for the sake of something else, we use him.
A person is a complete picture, you can not like something in it, like the way mountains or rivers are depicted, you can love something specific in it. But it must be perceived as a whole, in its entirety. Either you love the whole person or you don’t. Yes, sometimes you can’t put up with certain traits, and then you have to look for a compromise
If you love a person for who he is, then you love him. If you are trying to change it radically, then you love yourself. That's all.
