So this is the philosophical area, eh? I suppose that includes philosophical sayings.
I have my own personal philosophical saying that I came up with out of the blue one day...
"Strive to succeed and you will always fail.
Strive to fail and you will always succeed."
It is both funny and true...because we, as humans, tend to fail at many things...and, boy, do we know it! xd

I also know a good handful of other philosophical quotes that I've picked up over the years...
"Fear is one's greatest enemy...conquer fear and you can conquer the world, for he who fears nothing, has nothing to fear."
"There are three ways of acting wisely...the first is through meditation, this is the noblest...second, through imitation, this is the easiest...third, through experience, this is the bitterest."

Anybody else got a few good philosophical quotes they can share?

Ok. I got tons. I'll list only a few though.
Bill R. Good, Jr.:
There are three things that are certain in life: death, taxes and change. You can't avoid change, it's mandatory, progress however is optional.

John Adams:
There are two educations. One should teach us how to make a living and the other how to live.

Albert Einstein:
There are two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

A. W. Pinero:
Those who love deeply never grow old; they may die of old age, but they die young.

Joseph Addison:
Three grand essentials to happiness in this life are something to do, something to love and something to hope for.
