More From George Santayana
- "Happiness is the only sanction of life; where happiness fails, existence remains a mad and lamentable experiment."
- "It is veneer, rouge, aestheticism, art museums, new theaters, etc. that make America impotent. The good things are football, kindness, and jazz bands."
- "We must welcome the future, remembering that soon it will be the past; and we must respect the past, remembering that it was once all that was humanly possible."
More In Faith

- "But I recognize no infallible authority, even in special questions; consequently, whatever respect I may have for the honesty and the sincerity of such or such an individual, I have no absolute faith in any person."― Mikhail Bakunin
