What philosopher do you most identify with?

RE: What philosopher do you most identify with?
Where's Pyrrho and Epicurus?! It's a tie between the two. Though out of the options listed above, Lao Tzu. It's the nature of my inner pantheist.

David Hume. Though I want things to be otherwise, I can't seem to get away from my skepticism.

No points for guessing which one I picked.
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"

How can Democritus be so neglected?

The man who first hypothesized the atom.
The man who is widely considered to be the father of modern science.

C'mon!

Thomas Hobbes
Epicurus
Machiavelli
Friedrich Nietzsche
Karl Marx

All good.

Also, Thucydides. The man who first posited the idea that might makes right in his History of the Peloponnesian War. "...since you know as well as we do that right, as the world goes, is only in question between equals in power, while the strong do what they can and the weak suffer what they must."
