My philosophy from day one is that I can sleep better at night if I can improve an individual's knowledge about food and wine and do it on a daily basis.

'Truth Will Set U Free' is about honesty. My philosophic belief that ultimately being true to yourself is liberating with every individual's inalienable right to be who they are without fear or recrimination.

'Freedom from fear' could be said to sum up the whole philosophy of human rights.

I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.

I fear that in the end the famous debate among materialists idealists and dualists amounts to a merely verbal dispute that is more a matter for the linguist than for the speculative philosopher.

My philosophy was if I just do good work someone will like it enough to employ me. It never made me famous. And I'm way way too old now mate. That boat's sailed.

That's a central part of philosophy of ethics. What do I owe to strangers? What do I owe to my family? What is it to live a good life? Those are questions which we face as individuals.

We will grieve not rather find strength in what remains behind. In the faith that looks through death in years that bring the philosophic mind.

The process of philosophic and scientific enlightenment has shaken the stability of beliefs held explicitly as articles of faith.

To believe only possibilities is not faith but mere philosophy.
