Unintelligible answers to insoluble problems. (Babbage Charles)
The philosopher is like a man fasting in the midst of universal intoxication. He alone perceives the illusion of which all creatures are the willing playthings; he is less duped than his neighbor by his own nature. He judges more sanely, he sees things as they are. It is in this that his liberty consists -- in the ability to see clearly and soberly, in the power of mental record. (Babbage Charles)

We are much beholden to Machiavel and others, that write what men do, and not what they ought to do. (Babbage Charles)
In it he proves that all things are true and states how the truths of all contradictions may be reconciled physically, such as for example that white is black and black is white; that one can be and not be at the same time; that there can be hills without valleys; that nothingness is something and that everything, which is, is not. But take note that he proves all these unheard-of paradoxes without any fallacious or sophistical reasoning. (Babbage Charles)

To philosophize is only another way of being afraid and leads hardly anywhere but to cowardly make-believe. (Babbage Charles)
Philosophy, like medicine, has plenty of drugs, few good remedies, and hardly any specific cures. (Babbage Charles)

Philosophy is a bully that talks loud when the danger is at a distant; but, the moment she is pressed hard by an enemy, she is nowhere to be found and leaves the brunt of the battle to be fought by her steady, humble comrade, religion. (Babbage Charles)
There is nothing so strange and so unbelievable that it has not been said by one philosopher or another. (Babbage Charles)
