"Let the Schopenhauers philosophise and prove whatever they like, while we'll kiss these little hands." "You despise me, and if only you knew how miserable it makes me," she said uncertainly, knowing beforehand that he would not believe her. "And if you only knew how I want to change, to begin another life! I think of it with enthusiasm!" and tears of enthusiasm actually came into her eyes.
Patrick was too young to philosophise upon his ideas; or else the series of pictures projected by the troops of sensations running through him were not of a solidity to support any structure of philosophy. He reverted, though rather in name than in spirit, to the abstractions, justice, consistency, right.
Meanwhile Katenka and I were sitting by the tea-table, and somehow she began to talk about her favourite subject love. I was in the right frame of mind to philosophise, and began by loftily defining love as the wish to acquire in another what one does not possess in oneself.
"If judging of things and questions simply on their own merit, and with the single object of ascertaining what is truth in regard to them, constitutes a philosopher, I am." "Don't you find that men who philosophise in that way are usually deemed an obstinate generation by their fellow-men?" inquired the trader, smiling as he puffed a voluminous cloud from his lips. "I do," replied Bertram.
It was painful to see him. He endeavoured to smile and for a moment to talk triflingly, but could not. He was in a tremor; his mouth parched, his lips white. His next essay was to philosophise; but in this attempt too he was entirely at fault. The passions are all sympathetic, and none more so than this of trepidation.

I have not seen a man since I came here, except a dock-worker or two priests and fine gentlemen they are all and you don't call them men, surely? 'What on earth do they do, beside riding donkeys? 'Philosophise, they say. 'What's that?
This is the second use of the Fable in which we resume that dropped argument, dropped for that time, while Caesar still commanded his thirty legions; and when the question, 'How long to philosophise? being started in the schools again, the answer returned still was, 'Until our armies cease to be commanded by fools. This is that second use of the Fable where we find the moral of it at last, that moral which our moralists have missed in it, that moral which is not 'vulgar and common-place, but abstruse, and out of the road of common opinion, that moral in which the Moral Science, which is the Wisdom of the Moderns, lurks.
We mounted the bridge, which, being first-class and an extra two or three sous, was deserted. These thrifty people would as soon think of burning down their cottages, as of wasting two sous in a useless luxury all honour to them for the principle. But we, surveying human nature from an elevation, felt privileged to philosophise.
But he was wrong in insisting that we are to cherish our prejudices 'because they are prejudices': for if all are well founded, there is no occasion to inquire into their origin or use; and he who sets out to philosophise upon them, or make the separation Mr.
Brother Scipio, as you hope that heaven will prosper all your desires, do suffer me to philosophise a little at present; for unless I utter the reflections which have now occurred to my mind, I feel that my story will not be complete or duly edifying. Scip.
