“Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom.” — Will Durant Quote

“Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom.”

“Ultimately there are but three systems of ethics, three conceptions of the ideal character and the moral life.”

“The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.”

“Misconceptions play a prominent role in my view of the world.”

“The question has often been asked; Is Buddhism a religion or a philosophy? It does not matter what you call it. Buddhism remains what it is whatever label you may put on it. The label is immaterial. Even the label 'Buddhism' which we give to the teachings of the Buddha is of little importance. The name one gives is inessential.... In the same way Truth needs no label: it is neither Buddhist, Christian, Hindu nor Moslem. It is not the monopoly of anybody. Sectarian labels are a hindrance to the independent understanding of Truth, and they produce harmful prejudices in men's minds.”
