The site is long on philosophical quotes by period personalities but totally lacking in quotes by King Solomon as written in the book of Ecclesiastes... Solomon was credited as being the most knowledgeable man that ever lived. Well... err.. until he took on  some 700 wives which had to be just dumb... Geoff would likely write them off as an erotic distraction. Anyway, Solomon did state precepts that have withstood the test of time.
 
 
Solomon  wrote : He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end. ecc.3:11
 
and again he wrote: For much wisdom comes much sorrow; the more knowledge, the more grief. ecc.1:18
 
and again he wrote:  Of making books there is no end, and much study wearies the body.ecc.12:12
 
Leibniz et.al. devote much time  explaining why the King's robe can be seen only by the intellectuals of the world.
 
I read recently that more than 50% of the college majors in France are now in philosophy, surely after 150 years they would fathom Marx and Engels were just kidding in the coffee shop and never to be taken serious.
