What are some philosophical quotes that are applicable on most SAT essay prompts?

<p>I'll start us off:</p>

<p>"Every one sees what you appear to be, few really know what you are"-Machiavelli</p>

<p>He's saying that everyone is able to put on a public face that the masses see, but who one truly is often goes unseen by the masses. This is applicable on most of the prompts I think. </p>

<p>What else?</p>

<p>The list is nearly endless...here is a link to quite a few:</p>

<p>Vyse, how appropriate that quote is for this thread.</p>

<p>why dont u just make them up. like we make up the rest of the things on that bs.</p>

<p>"Sometimes you're the windshield, sometimes you're the mosquito"</p>

<p>please dont tell me ur gonna memorize a bunch of quotes to use on the sat essay!</p>

<p>...but u are, aren't ya?</p>

<p>I already have a bank of a few of my favorite ones that I use on all my essays anyway. If one jumps out at me that Ilike, I can usually recall it pretty easily.</p>
