“My philosophy is that all stocks are bad. There are no good stocks unless they go up in price.

“One of the appeals of markets, as a public philosophy, is they seem to spare us the need to engage in public arguments about the meaning of goods. So markets seem to enable us to be non-judgmental about values. But I think that's a mistake.” ThinkingNeedsPhilosophySeemsValuesMistakeArgumentAppealsGoodsSparesJudgmentalNon Judgmental Author:Michael Sandel

“We have resorted to every means to win back the position that Adam lost. We have tried through education, through philosophy, through religion, through governments to throw off our yoke of depravity and sin. All our knowledge, all our inventions, all our developments and ambitious plans move us ahead only a very little before we drop back again to the point from which we started. For we are still making the same mistake that Adam made - - we are still trying to be king in our own right, and with our own power, instead of obeying God's law.” TryingMeanLittlesMadeStillsPhilosophyGovernmentMovingLawWinningLostSinMistakePlansPositionDevelopmentKingsInventionAdamAmbitiousBack AgainDepravityObeyingYokeSame MistakesVery MeanMaking The Same MistakesObeying God Author:Billy Graham
“This is an important distinction, because most of the modern philosophies that deny that we can know reality, and ultimately truth, make the mistake of constructing epistemological systems to explain how we know reality without first acknowledging the fact that we do know reality. After they begin within the mind and find they can't construct a bridge to reality, they then declare that we can't know reality. It is like drawing a faulty road map before looking at the roads, then declaring that we can't know how to get from Chicago to New York!” KnowsMindFirstsImportantPhilosophyFactsRealityMistakeKnow HowModernNew YorkDenyDrawingBridgesDistinctionMapsChicagoConstructsDeclaringRoad MapsModern Philosophy Author:Josh McDowell
“Do not make Mistakes about Character. That is the worst and yet easiest error. Better be cheated in the price than in the quality of goods. In dealing with men, more than with other things, it is necessary to look within. To know men is different from knowing things. It is profound philosophy to sound the depths of feeling and distinguish traits of character. Men must be studied as deeply as books.” KnowsMenLooksBookDifferentPhilosophyCharacterFeelingsSoundMistakeQualityKnowingWorstErrorsProfoundDepthMaking MistakesGoodsTraitsKnow MeCheatedKnowing Things Book:The Art of Worldly Wisdom Source: The Art of Worldly Wisdom
“The kind of approach I take is different from much of experimental philosophy. Although the experimental philosophers and I are certainly in agreement about the relevance of empirical work to philosophy, a good deal of their work is devoted to understanding features of our folk concepts, and in this respect, at least, I see them as making the same mistake as those armchair philosophers who are interested in conceptual analysis.” KindDifferentPhilosophyUnderstandingDealsMistakeApproachConceptsFolksPhilosopherFeaturesAnalysisAgreementDevotedRelevanceSame MistakesArmchairsMaking The Same Mistakes Author:Hilary Kornblith
