mintymilk Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 This is a very nice topic. Why did you choose this quote to begin with, lemmingllama? Is it a quote that you try to live by? One that i try to live by is from Aristotle: Anybody can become angry, that's easy. But to be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way, that's not within everybody's power. That's not easy. I find that when I lose my cool, it's hard to stay in control :r Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lemmingllama Posted October 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 Its just a quote that I really liked, I actually had a friend make it into a desktop background. And sweet quote "Contentment is natural wealth, luxury is artificial poverty." Socrates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manifesto Posted October 15, 2011 Report Share Posted October 15, 2011 There are so many philosophers I admire like Plato, Aristotle, Rene Descartes,Confucius...but my favorite philosopher has to be Karl Marx, the guy was a genius, I really liked these quotes; "The philosophers have already perceived the world in various ways; the point is to change it." and ''History is not like some individual person, which uses men to achieve its ends. History is nothing but the actions of men in pursuit of their ends.'' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
