I'm not sure I can define these phrases my philosophy, but I've always found them pretty useful:
Clarity of ideas, perspicacity, firmness and patience under adversity (Pirandello)
Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature? (Hannibal Lecter's summary of Marcus Aurelius)
A life spent making mistakes is not only more honorable but more useful than a life spent doing nothing. (G.B Shaw)
Romy
