George Santayana
To delight in war is a merit in the soldier, a dangerous quality in the captain, and a positive crime in the statesman.
George Santayana
The fly that prefers sweetness to a long life may drown in honey.
George Santayana
The philosophy of the common man is an old wife that gives him no pleasure, yet he cannot live without her, and resents any aspersions that strangers may cast on her character.
George Santayana
Eloquence is a republican art, as conversation is an aristocratic one.
George Santayana
