It is George Bernard Shaw. This info is right on Wikipedia. The reasonable man adapts himself to the world; the unreasonable one persists in trying to adapt the world to himself. Therefore all progress depends on the unreasonable man. http://wiki.answers.com/quotes/George_Bernard_Shaw/, Man and Superman (1903) "Maxims for Revolutionists"Irish dramatist & socialist (1856 - 1950)

Some men see things as they are and ask why I dream things that never were and ask why not What did Robert.F.Kennedy mean when he said that?
Robert F. Kennedy may have said this in a speech somewhere at some time but if he did, he was quoting George Bernard Shaw. What Robert Kennedy may have meant by quoting Shaw is unknown to me. I can, however tell you what I think the phrase means, or at the very least what it means to me. The first part of this phrase; "Some men see things as they are and ask why..." can be taken two ways. First a scientist or philosopher will see things the way they are and ask why to better understand the mechanics of reality. The second inference is that men see the world they don't understand, feel victimized by the circumstances and ask in helplessness, why? In the full context of the quotation I would argue that the second interpretation is more harmonious with the full meaning of the phrase. The second part of this phrase; "...I dream things that never happened and ask why not?" Is a bold assertion that it is better to be cause over the way things are than it is to be the effect of them. Once only birds ruled the sky, now man rules the sky. We are more powerful, each and every one of us, than most of us give ourself credit of being. It was Goethe who said; "If you can imagine it, you can achieve it." _____ Senator Edward (Ted) Kennedy actually used this Shaw quote at the end of his eulogy to his brother Robert. In part, he said: My brother need not be idealized, or enlarged in death beyond what he was in life, to be remembered simply as a good and decent man, who saw wrong and tried to right it, saw suffering and tried to heal it, saw war and tried to stop it. Those of us who loved him and who take him to his rest today, pray that what he was to us and what he wished for others will some day come to pass for all the world. As he said many times, in many parts of this nation, to those he touched and who sought to touch him: "Some men see things as they are and say why. I dream things that never were and say why not." It was a fitting and moving tribute to the late Attorney General of the United States, who probably would have won the Democratic nomination in the Presidential race, but who, thanks to Sirhan Sirhan, left his brother Ted as the only brother of the three in politics. The assertion is that it is easier to see something that already exists and improve on it or at least modify it than it is to create something new and that the latter is nobler, perhaps more worthy of praise.
What is the importance of studying philosophy?
Answer # 1 Very interesting question. First you must understand what the word philosophy means. Its from two Greek words philos and sophos. Philos means great affinity or love for and sophos means knowledge, wisdom, truth, Some actually indicate enlightenment.The second thing to understand is that Athena is the goddess over all knowledge or wisdom as the Greeks believed. The city of Athens is named for the goddess AthenaThe doctrine known as Philosophy or Philos-Sophos was developed in Athens, and developed in honor and reverence to its patron goddess Athena. Philos-Sophos is actually the testament to mans discoveries of knowledge using specific methods to determine what man considers to be the truth, the most notable of these methodologies is the dialectic. According to philos-sophos doctrine truth is derived by men via specific methodology as a testament to Athena and not proclaimed at the mouth of prophets as stated in Biblical texts.Its important to study philosophy, simply to understand is historical significance as the doctrine which is the Basis for the ideas and proclamation of its self made prophets. Men such as Aristotle, Plato, Zeno, Socrates, Darwin, Hegel, Hegel's Students (Bauer brothers, Sterner, Feuerbach, Marx & Engels) Mau, Adolph Hitler, Linen, Stalin, Edward Bellamy, George B Shaw, Saul Alinsky ... all of which made their various proclamations based upon the doctrine of philosophy and its dialectic method.Its important to understand that all the systems which are known as Communism, Socialism, Progressivism, and Liberation Theology are based upon that doctrine known as Greek philos-sophos doctrine and its method known as the dialectic.For bible students, its important to understand that the apostle Paul warned Christians against following this specific doctrine. Paul engaged those who believed in Philos-Sophos doctrine while he was visiting Athens. The account is written in the 17th chapter of the book of acts. Later Paul would engage the sophists (teachers of philosophy) in various areas where he traveled. The Sophists were the accepted educators of the day and were held in high regard and high esteem among the Greeks, and Romans. Sophists had already taken to twisting the teachings of the apostles by applying philos-sophos doctrine to the teachings of the apostles. The established paradigm of education was not about to give up their age old tradition and profession to a few Hebrews who were teaching the word of our Father.Paul warned Christians about these sophists and their teaching of philosophy and mixing it with Hebrew doctrine. In the book of Colossians, Chapter two, Paul warns that the doctrine of philosophy will deceive Christians if they allow it to mix with Hebrew doctrine. The word in the KJV bible used by Paul to warn Christians are to the dangers of philos-sophos doctrine is spoiled, the actual Greek word used is 4812 - pronounced soo-lag-ogue-eh-o, and it means to be lead away as spoils of war - booty. its from Greek word 4813, which means to strip or to rob. The word philosophia is only written in two places in all the biblical text (Acts 17 and Colossians 2). Therefore the topic is specific to Paul's activities engaging those who believed in philosophia doctrine.Most people are unaware that philos-sophos doctrine is the largest doctrine in the world and that is adherents are proposing it become the only doctrine in the world. Most believers in philos-sophos doctrine think that the way to global peace is to convert the entire world over to philos-sophos doctrine. This is the reason why they created the faux Christian version known as Liberation Theology.This is why people must understand philosophy as what it is, a doctrine. Then each individual must choose what they will believe. Its your choice as an individual to select the doctrine you will believe in. Just remember that philosophy or philos-sophos is a doctrine. Don't forget that the Athenians who invented the doctrine did so as a testament to their goddess Athena.The # 1 Answer Ends
