"Philosophy begins in wonder...." - Quote by Plato

“The learning and knowledge that we have, is, at the most, but little compared with that of which we are ignorant.”

“It is vain for the sober man to knock at poesy's door.”

“Wealth is well known to be a great comforter.”

“There is no record in human history of a happy philosopher: they exist only in romantic legend.”

“Nothing that actually occurs is of the smallest importance”

“What then is the right way to live? Life should be lived as play.”

“Many thousands of people have had the experience of finding the first friend, and it is none the less a wonder; as great a wonder (pace the novelists) as first love, or even greater.”

“Pooh! Grown-ups are always thinking of uninteresting explanations.”

“I feel like the earth, astonished at fragrance borne in the air, made pregnant with mystery from a drop of rain.”
