Some of my understanding of what philosophy and ethics is has changed very slowly. One thing that has changed is this for quite a long time I bought-into the idea that philosophy is basically about arguments. I'm increasingly of the view that it isn't. The most interesting things in philosophy aren't arguments. The thing that I think is underestimated is what I call a form of attending. I think that philosophy is at least as much about carefully attending to things as it is about the structure of arguments.

Julian Baggini

My uncle developed the training philosophy. His idea of good tennis training is basically quite simple: you must try to gain time.

Rafael Nadal

The things I tend to do best are the things that are the most overtly emotional, whether it's sentimental or whether it's celebratory or whether it's conflicted.

Alan Menken

I have come finally to a simple philosophy of work. I enjoy what I do and do the best I can. That is enough.

Maria Schell

I would say to anybody who thinks that all the problems in philosophy can be translated into empirically verifiable answers - whether it be a Lawrence Krauss thinking that physics is rendering philosophy obsolete or a Sam Harris thinking that neuroscience is rendering moral philosophy obsolete - that it takes an awful lot of philosophy - philosophy of science in the first case, moral philosophy in the second - even to demonstrate the relevance of these empirical sciences.

Rebecca Goldstein

There is a truth in Schopenhauer’s view that philosophy is an organism, and that a book on philosophy, with a beginning and end, is a sort of contradiction. ... In philosophy matters are not simple enough for us to say ‘Let’s get a rough idea’, for we do not know the country except by knowing the connections between the roads.

Ludwig Wittgenstein

My philosophy is generally to keep things as simple as possible.

Washed Out

I am really simple with diets. I say feed your frame.

Bobby Lashley

I am not a very timid type. It's very important to some people, but not to me. I have a simple philosophy: worry about those things you can fix. It you can't fix it, don't worry about it; accept it and do the best you can.

Jimmy Doolittle

My philosophy is simple: It's a down-home, common, horse-sense approach to things.

Dolly Parton

The overarching conventional wisdom - what everyone from government experts to my French girlfriends take as articles of faith - is that restrictive diets generally don't make you healthier or slimmer. Instead, it's best to eat a variety of high-quality foods in moderation and pay attention to whether you're hungry.

Pamela Druckerman

Everything I learn about the world, whether it's the simple arcana of how commercial products are manufactured and designed and how they reach our shelves and where the chips come from and who does the code, to more profound things like whether or not a black hole might be penetrable as a wormhole, whether or not universes might be accessible from here, whether space can be stretched and compressed to enable faster-than-light travel without violating physical law - all of those things have tremendous story potential.

Jon Spaihts

Don't see anything impossible! This simple philosophy will enable many things to be possible!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

I basically have a very positive philosophy of life, because I don't feel I have anything to lose. Most things are going to turn out okay.

Hal Ashby

I have a very simple philosophy when it comes to casting, and it really is casting the best person for the role.

Rob Marshall

When I'm choosing things, there's a level of intelligence I want to peel off, whether it's written in terribly simple sentences, whether it's from the point of view of a dog, or a 15-year-old boy.
