On the meta-thread of favorite philosophers, I'd probably have to say mine is Sartre, mainly because he penned one of my favorite lines, "Existence precedes essence." I think if I had to pick a few basic truths, this would be one of them, as would Descartes "I think, therefore I am".

I raise your pithy quotes with a paragraph I highlighted from Leviathan:

"The use and end of reason, is not the finding of the sum, and truth of one, or a few consequences, remote from the first definitions, and settled significations of names; but to begin at these; and proceed from one consequence to another."

I love his takes on knee jerk reaction and uninformed arguments.
