David Hume on philosophy

Learning has been [a] great loser by being shut up in colleges and cells and secluded from the world and good company.

The life of man is of no greater importance to the universe than that of an oyster.

Grief and disappointment give rise to anger, anger to envy, envy to malice, and malice to grief again, till the whole circle be completed.

The unexamined life is not worth living.

Socrates470–399 BCThe Apology of Socrates (399 BC)
