The Old Philosopher - Eddie Lawrence.
Hello, there, my friend.
You say your old man dressed up as Santa Claus and can't get his belly through the fireplace?
And you hang up a purple bulb on the tree and three thousand volts go through ya?
And your brother made an animal cage out of your Erector set, and Grandma can't get out?
And someone opened a window while you're sortin' stamps and all your triangles are flying around the house? And one of your gifts, a strange little shiny box, suddenly takes off and is
now circling the earth at twelve-hundred miles-an-hour?
Is that what's troublin' you, bunky?!?
WELL, PUT YOUR HEAD DOWN LOW AND TAKE A RUN FOR IT!! YOU'LL NEVER GIVE UP...NEVER GIVE UP...NEVER GIVE
UP...
THAT SHIPP!!!

Marquis De Sade
He was the great forerunner to many of the more acknowledged philosophers (Nietzsche, Dostoevsky, Kafka, etc) and also may have inspired Darwin on his Origin of Species (particularly in the context of 'The Survival of The Fittest').

The deck is stacked toward more contemporaries a they have the benefit of those who came before them. My favorite is Bertrand Russell.

I'd say Jesus, he was the only one who had it together, taught about love and how to get along with God, and loved and forgave everyone, even those who were according to his philosophy doing what was wrong, and they killed him b/c he was wiser and more popular than they were. Who else forgives everyone? Who else offers life?
