George Santayana
  • The love of all-inclusiveness is as dangerous in philosophy as in art.

  • The lover knows much more about absolute good and universal beauty than any logician or theologian, unless the latter, too, be lovers in disguise.

  • Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men.

  • A conception not reducible to the small change of daily experience is like a currency not exchangeable for articles of consumption it is not a symbol, but a fraud.

  • Religion in its humility restores man to his only dignity, the courage to live by grace.
