More quotes by George Santayana
Fun is a good thing but only when it spoils nothing better.
George Santayana
A dream is always simmering below the conventional surface of speech and reflection.
George Santayana
The aim of education is the condition of suspended judgment on everything.
George Santayana
Gnomic wisdom, however, is notoriously polychrome, and proverbs depend for their truth entirely on the occasion they are applied to. Almost every wise saying has an opposite one, no less wise, to balance it.
George Santayana
The vital straining towards an ideal, definite but latent, when it dominates a whole life, may express that ideal more fully than could the best chosen words.
George Santayana
The best men in all ages keep classic traditions alive
George Santayana
The Universe, so far as we can observe it, is a wonderful and immense engine its extent, its order, its beauty, its cruelty, makes it alike impressive.
George Santayana
The profoundest affinities are those most readily felt.
George Santayana
Existence is a miracle, and, morally considered, a free gift from moment to moment.
George Santayana
In unphilosophical minds any rare or unexpected thing excites wonder, while in philosophical minds the familiar excites wonder also.
George Santayana
Chaos is a name for any order that produces confusion in our minds.
George Santayana
Trust the man who hesitates in his speech and is quick and steady in action, but beware of long arguments and long beards.
George Santayana
Men almost universally have acknowledged providence, but that fact has had no force to destroy natural aversions and fears in the presence of events.
George Santayana
Well-bred instinct meets reason halfway
George Santayana
Whoever it was who searched the heavens with a telescope and found no God would not have found the human mind if he had searched the brain with a microscope.
George Santayana
It is right to prefer our own country to all others, because we are children and citizens before we can be travellers or philosophers.
George Santayana
Order, for a liberal, means only peace and the hope of a profound peace was one of the chief motives in the liberal movement. Concessions and tolerance and equality would thus have really led to peace, and to peace of the most radical kind, the peace of moral extinction.
George Santayana
Men become superstitious, not because they have too much imagination, but because they are not aware that they have any.
George Santayana
Nothing can so pierce the soul as the uttermost sigh of the body.
George Santayana
Art supplies constantly to contemplation what nature seldom affords in concrete experience - the union of life and peace.
George Santayana
