Quotes - Famous Quotes - Quote of the Day - Sail

I find that the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand as
in what direction we are moving; To reach the port of heaven, we must sail
sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it--but we must sail, and not
drift, nor lie at anchor.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

Quotes - Famous Quotes - Quote of the Day - Perception

Every man feels that perception gives him an invincible belief of the existence of that which he perceives; and that this belief is not the effect of
reasoning, but the immediate consequence of perception. When philosophers have wearied themselves and their readers with their speculations upon this
subject, they can neither strengthen this belief, nor weaken it; nor can they shew how it is produced. It puts the philosopher and the peasant upon a level;
and neither of them can give any other reason for believing his senses, than that he finds it impossible for him to do otherwise.

- Thomas Reid (1710–1796), Scottish leading philosopher, opponent of Hume. Essay II, ch. xv, p. 241, Essays on the Intellectual Powers of Man, MIT Press, Cambridge, Mass. (1969)

Quotes - Famous Quotes - Quote of the Day - Chess

One cannot play chess if one becomes aware of the pieces as living souls and
of the fact that the Whites and the Blacks have more in common with each
other than with the players. Suddenly one loses all interest in who will be
champion.
