Thales of Miletus @quantamtheorems

Love's purpose is physical and mental procreation in an attractive medium.

You can't give what you don't have and you can't teach what you don't know.

It's hardly going too far to say that Love is present in everything that exists.

A lover who loves goodness of character is constant for life.

Possession by love would infuse even utter cowards with courage.

So important a god, and so little attention has been paid to him!

Only a philosopher's mind grows wings, since its memory always keeps it as close as possible to those realities by being close to which the gods are divine.

The intelligence of few perceives what has been carefully hidden in the recesses of the mind.

A learned man has always riches in himself.

Everyone ought to bear patiently the results of his own conduct.

Reflective practice is the ability to reflect on one's actions so as to take a critical stance or attitude towards one's own practice and that of one's peers, engaging in a process of continuous adaptation and learning.

The thinking of Immanuel Kant greatly influenced moral philosophy. He thought of moral value as a unique and universally identifiable property, as an absolute value rather than a relative value.

John Dewey (1859–1952) in his book Theory of Valuation, says goodness is the outcome of ethic valuation and a continuous balancing of "ends in view".

Peter Koestenbaum at San Jose State University in California was an early figure in philosophical counseling. His 1978 book The New Image of the Person: The Theory and Practice of Clinical Philosophy set out the essential contributions of philosophy to counseling.

Practical philosophy is also the use of philosophy and philosophical techniques in everyday life. This can take a number of forms including reflective practice, personal philosophical thinking, and philosophical counseling.

Bertrand Arthur William Russell (1872–1970) was a British philosopher, logician, essayist and social critic best known for his work in mathematical logic and analytic philosophy.

On the metaphysical side, Russell developed his famous theory of logical atomism, in which the world is said to consist of a complex of logical atoms (such as “little patches of colour”) and their properties and relations.

Euclid was a Greek mathematician and is also known as the 'father of Geometry

Thales was known for his ability to merge theory and practicality, a characteristic that distinguished him from his contemporaries.
