When words express truth, they are not refined.
When words are refined, they do not express truth.
One who is proficient, does not depend on verbal disputation.
One who depends on verbal disputation, is not proficient.
One who knows is not encyclopedic.
One who is encyclopedic, does not know.
The wise does not accumulate.
The more he works for other people, the more he gains.
The more he shares with other people, the more he recieves.
The way followed by heaven, is to do good, and not to harm.
The way followed by the wise is to work, and not claim credit.

"The one thing that we yearn for in our living days, that makes us sigh and groan and undergo sweet nauseas of all kinds, is the remembrance of some lost bliss that was probably experienced in the womb and can only be reproduced (though we hate to admit it) in death." -Kerouac
"I think basically the Grateful Dead is not for cranking out rock and roll, it's not for going out and doing concerts or any of that stuff. I think it's to get high. To get really high is to forget yourself. And to forget yourself is to see everything else. And to see everything else is to become an understanding molecule in evolution, a conscious tool of the universe. And I think every human being should be a conscious tool of the universe." -Garcia

Christianity was from the beginning, essentially and fundamentally, life's nausea and disgust with life, merely concealed behind, masked by, dressed up as, faith in 'another' or 'better' life. - Nietzsche

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity." ~from unknown~

"Life it's just more complex than people make of it, its explaination can't be summed up and yet some don't see the obvious simplicites and truth." ~me~

"In the course of history many more people have died for their drink and their dope than have died for their religion or their country." — Aldous Huxley
"Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power." — P.J. O'Rourke
"Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions. Watch your actions; they become habits. Watch your habits; they become character. Watch your character; it becomes your destiny." — Frank Outlaw

"Nature is like a sculptor constantly improving upon her work, but to do so she chisels away at living flesh." H.K. Bloom
"Is God willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is not omnipotent...
Is he able but not willing? Then he is malevolent...
Is he both able, and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him god." Epicurus 33 AD
There are a bunch I'll try and add over then next week or so when i have time, mainly after I've read which ones are already in here, so that is all for now.
EDIT: Just a warning, I use a very broad definition of philosophy.
Here we go:
"What I see in Nature is a magnificent structure that we can comprehend only very imperfectly, and that must fill a thinking person with a feeling of “humility.” This is a genuinely religious feeling that has nothing to do with mysticism." -Einstein
"A belief which leaves no place for doubt is not a belief; it is a superstition." José Bergamín
"Madness... is the exception in individuals, but the rule in groups" - Nietzsche
"It's getting uncommonly easy to kill people in large numbers, and the first thing a principle does - if it really is a principle - is to kill somebody" Dorothy L. Sayers
"We do not see, or we forgot, that the birds which are idly singing around us mostly live on insects or seeds, and are thus constantly destroying life." Charles Darwin
"If you occasionally feel you are of several minds on one subject, you are probably right. In reality you have several brains. And those brains don't always agree." Howard K. Bloom
In reference to the !Kung tribe of the Kalahari Desert: "These simple people had no violence, they said. Anthropology had discovered the key to human harmony, abolish the modern world. Later studies revealed that !Kung men solve the problem of adultery by murder. As a result the homicide rate among the tribe is higher than that of NYC" H.K. Bloom
10/7/09 Some more:
"Howard Bloom has his own vision of evolution and human nature that many scientific authorities would dispute. He is a heretic among former heretics.The bone of contention is the organismic nature of human society" David Sloan Wilson
"Progress is possible only when people believe in the possibilities of growth and change. Races or tribes die out not just when they are conquered or suppressed but when they accept their defeated condition, become despairing, and lose their excitement about the future." Norman Cousins
"Whether a nation be today mighty or rich or not depends not on the abundance of security of its power or riches, but principally on whether its neighbors posses more or less of it." Philip Von Hornigk c. 1690
--------------------
"Nature is like a sculptor constantly improving upon her work, but to do so she chisels away at living flesh." H.K. Bloom
"Is God willing to prevent evil but not able? Then he is not omnipotent...
Is he able but not willing? Then he is malevolent...
Is he both able, and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him god." Epicurus c. 300 BCE
"When I brought up the fact that 'No drug is good or bad, they're all just A drug, what someone does with them determines the postive or negative outcome. Look at medicine, those are drugs' Reponse was that 'well medicine solves problems' well so does LSD." -Learningtofly
