George Santayana

Life is not meant to be understood, but to be lived.

Friends are that part of the human race with whom one can be human.

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Fanaticism consists of redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim.

Our adherence to a natural leader is not a loss of freedom, it is the recognition that our ideas have an executor and an interpreter.

For an idea, it is very bad omen to be in fashion, as this implies that it will be forever outdated in the future.
