English philosophy and quotations:

Nostalgic, dreamy, determined? After having talked about happiness in the baccalaureate type duty, through a carpe diem vision.  Based on the improvisation of living in the present moment. For this free and more 'personal' blog, I wanted to approach philosophy and great English quotes.

I like what they give off, the depth that it sends back to us. Through short sentences, we can see by people known or not, things that catch our attention. This will make us think about the quotation in question.

Whether it is by Shakespeare, Abraham Lincoln, Albert Einstein and others...
Let us talk about philosophy and great phrases throughout the English-speaking world.

From the medieval period by Roger Bacon, the modern era with Thomas Hobbes, the classic trio of British empiricists John Locke, George Berkeley and David Hume or the 20th century by Bertrand Russell. I have selected various quotations that I liked, encouraging a certain amount of reflection.

“Be not afraid of greatness. Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and others have greatness thrust upon them.” - William Shakespeare

We've all heard of William Shakespeare! Considered one of the greatest poets, playwrights and writers of English culture.   So well known that his name is used to refer to the English language. Equivalent to Molière's language for the French language.

*He greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall » - Nelson Mandela*

After many years of imprisonment, Nelson Mandela was the first President of the Republic of South Africa and was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

One could also have said "A winner is a dreamer who never gives up"

'The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams." - Eleanor Roosevelt

All in their own way, impregnated by the current of their time, their history, their vision. These great quotations reflect a version of life in different ways.

The goal of philosophers is to think better, to live better. And not to know what men have thought, but to know, to seek a deep truth. To think, brainstorm,  but above all to be happy. like everything else on this earth.

Other very famous:

Some nice english sentences in particular, very appreciable about life: 

*I hated every minute of training, but I said, Don't quit. Suffer now and live the rest of your life as a champion. *

*I have found that if you love life, life will love you back* -Arthur Rubinstein

*You cannot have a positive life and negative mind * - Joyce Meyer

*Only I can change my life, No one can do it for me* -  Carol burnett

*When life gives you a hundred reasons to cry, show life that you have a thousand reasons to smile - Stephanie meyer*

*The difference between a successful person and other is not lack of strength not a lack of knowledge but rather a lack of will* -Vince Lombardi

*Live as if you were to die tomorrow, Learn as if you were to live forever -Mahatma Gandhi *

Phrases of hope, of strength. Which reveals in a few words the power, and purpose of life. I like to read these kinds of quotes, relate them to my personal life and impregnate them. 

Real, true, just, free turns of phrase. Life is summed up I think, with will, courage, reverie. And all that is what gives us the key to happiness. To follow our path without losing sight of the reason why we took it. To live without regrets, to take advantage of what is offered to us, of the present moment, and all the good things that life can offer us. Life smiles to the optimists, to feel happy is to reach the most beautiful success in life. To do so, never give up and fight for yourself, your dreams, and those you love and who love you back.
