| Philosophy is to the real world as masturbation is to sex | | Karl Marx | |

| Philosophy: A route of many roads leading from nowhere to nothing. | | Ambrose Bierce | |

| Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. | | Winston Churchill | |
| The Bhagavad-Gita is the most systematic statement of spiritual evolution of endowing value to mankind. The Gita is one of the clearest and most comprehensive summaries of the spiritual thoughts ever to have been made. | | Aldous Huxley | |
| The Christian West considers man to be wholly dependent upon the grace of God, or at least upon the Church as the exclusive and divinely sanctioned earthly instrument of man's redemption.

| The Perennial Philosophy is expressed most succinctly in the Sanskrit formula, tat tvam asi ('That art thou'); the Atman, or immanent eternal Self, is one with Brahman, the Absolute Principle of all existence; and the last end of every human being, is to discover the fact for himself, to find out who he really is. | | Aldous Huxley | |
| The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point, however, is to change it | | Karl Marx | |
| The point of philosophy is to start with something so simple as not to seem worth stating, and to end with something so paradoxical that no one will believe it. | | Bertrand Russell | |
| There is little of the true philosophic spirit in Aquinas. He does not, like the Platonic Socrates, set out to follow wherever the argument may lead. | | Bertrand Russell | |
| There is only one thing a philosopher can be relied upon to do, and that is to contradict other philosophers. | | William James | |
