A commentary on my favourite quotes
Hi.
“Never let your sense of morals prevent you from doing what is right.” Isaac Asimov
Isaac Asimov, one of my favourite authors. This line came from his brilliant novel Foundation, an extremely intelligent science fiction classic. This agrees with the view on ethics I hold, called Situational Ethics(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Situational_ethics), although I am starting to sway away already.
“To one who has faith, no explanation is necessary. To one without faith, no explanation is possible.” Thomas Aquinas
Beautiful. Aquinas neatly sums up the nature of faith and divine revelation in one short-sweet phrase.
“Doubt is the origin of wisdom.” Rene Descartes
This is my arrow towards people who choose blind faith. However…
“A witty saying proves nothing.” Voltaire
And yes! Very clever and ironically, witty line. I always say this to myself when reading flamboyant GP essays filled with quotes and air. Also very interesting of me to end off my post with this quote!
