More quotes by George Santayana
In each person I catch the fleeting suggestion of something beautiful and swear eternal friendship with that.
George Santayana
Religion is indeed a convention which a man must be bred in to endure with any patience and yet religion, for all its poetic motley, comes closer than work-a-day opinion to the heart of things.
George Santayana
Wealth, religion, military victory have more rhetorical than efficacious worth.
George Santayana
For an idea ever to be fashionable is ominous, since it must afterwards be always old fashioned
George Santayana
Man is a fighting animal his thoughts are his banners, and it is a failure of nerve in him if they are only thoughts.
George Santayana

George Santayana
The muffled syllables that Nature speaks Fill us with deeper longing for her word She hides a meaning that the spirit seeks, She makes a sweeter music than is heard.
George Santayana

George Santayana

George Santayana
Fear first created the gods.
George Santayana
Beware of long arguments and long beards.
George Santayana

George Santayana
To knock a thing down, especially if it is cocked at an arrogant angle, is a deep delight of the blood.
George Santayana
Photography at first was asked to do nothing but embalm our best smiles for the benefit of our friends and our best clothes for the amusement of posterity. Neither thing lasts, and photography came as a welcome salve to keep those precious, if slightly ridiculous, things a little longer in the world.
George Santayana
Does the thoughtful man suppose that...the present experiment in civilization is the last world we will see?
George Santayana
For Shakespeare, in the matter of religion, the choice lay between Christianity and nothing. He chose nothing.
George Santayana
Nothing can be meaner than the anxiety to live on, to live on anyhow and in any shape a spirit with any honor is not willing to live except in its own way, and a spirit with any wisdom is not over-eager to live at all.
George Santayana
Nothing is so irrevocable as mind.
George Santayana
A soul is but the last bubble of a long fermentation in the world.
George Santayana
The loftiest edifices need the deepest foundations.
George Santayana
