More quotes by George Santayana
All language is rhetorical, and even the senses are poets.
George Santayana
O world, thou choosest not the better part! It is not wisdom to be only wise, And on the inward vision close the eyes, But it is wisdom to believe the heart. Columbus found a world, and had no chart, Save one that faith deciphered in the skies To trust the soul's invincible surmise Was all his science and his only art.
George Santayana
Men have feverishly conceived a heaven only to find it insipid, and a hell to find it ridiculous.
George Santayana
Society itself is an accident to the spirit, and if society in any of its forms is to be justified morally it must be justified at the bar of the individual conscience.
George Santayana
Wisdom lies in taking everything with good humor and a grain of salt.
George Santayana
With an artist no sane man quarrels, any more than with the colour of a child's eyes.
George Santayana

George Santayana
Religion in its humility restores man to his only dignity, the courage to live by grace.
George Santayana
Only the dead have seen the end of the war.
George Santayana
The lover knows much more about absolute good and universal beauty than any logician or theologian, unless the latter, too, be lovers in disguise.
George Santayana
The soul, too has her virginity and must bleed a little before bearing fruit.
George Santayana
A body seriously out of equilibrium, either with itself or with its environment, perishes outright. Not so a mind. Madness and suffering can set themselves no limit.
George Santayana
Since barbarism has its pleasures it naturally has its apologists.
George Santayana
Lovely promise and quick ruin are seen nowhere better than in Gothic architecture.
George Santayana
