Philosophy doesn't often lend itself to pithy quotes, much less quotes that fit well onto a poster - but Max Temkin has actually done it. Some of my favorites:

The more I read Aristotle, the more of an Aristotelian I become. Quotes like this are no exception.

Those are absolutely awesome. Pity they are so poorly known/understood. The world would be a better place if more people thought about these. Maybe I'll make t-shirts out of them.

Philosophers are rarely entertaining or pithy. My own blog is evidence there; it's hard to say anything worth saying quickly! But deep thought sometimes makes for great slogans. I love so many of these.

Great quotes! Perhaps these giant posters should be prominently displayed at certain political conventions this year. Especially the first and the third!

How about this one, Barbara? I've always really wanted a t-shirt or something with this quote:

“Seek not the favor of the multitude; it is seldom got by honest and lawful means. But seek the testimony of few; and number not voices, but weigh them.” (Immanuel Kant)
