Metaphysics Quotes

This section contains Metaphysics Quotes
Every possible idea therefore may be said to be used existentially, for every possible idea qualifies and is true of a real world. And the number of real worlds, in a word, is indefinite. Every idea therefore in a sense is true, and is true of reality. The question with every idea is how far and in what sense is it true. The question is always whether, qualifying reality in one sense, the idea qualifies reality in another sense also. For, true in one world, an idea may be false in another world.(Quote by - Francis Bradley)


As long as your going to be thinking anyway, think big.(Quote by - Donald Trump)

Crave for a thing, you will get it. Renounce the craving, the object will follow you by itself.(Quote by - Swami Sivananda)


All arguments concerning existence are founded on the relation of cause and effect; that our knowledge of that relation is derived entirely from experience; and all our experimental conclusions proceed upon the supposition that the future will be conformable to the past. .... Without the influence of custom, we should be entirely ignorant of every matter of fact beyond what is immediately present to the memory and senses.(Quote by - David Hume)
