The strongest feelings assigned to the conscience are not moral feelings at all; they express merely physical antipathies (George Santayana Quotes)
To substitute judgments of fact for judgments of value, is a sign of pedantic and borrowed criticism (George Santayana Quotes)
Rejection is a form of self-assertion. You have only to look back upon yourself as a person who hates this or that to discover what it is that you secretly love (George Santayana Quotes)
There is a prodigious selfishness in dreams: They live perfectly deaf and invulnerable amid the cries of the real world (George Santayana Quotes)
The superiority of the distant over the present is only due to the mass and variety of the pleasures that can be suggested, compared with the poverty of those that can at any time be felt (George Santayana Quotes)
If clearness about things produces a fundamental despair, a fundamental despair in turn produces a remarkable clearness or even playfulness about ordinary matters (George Santayana Quotes)
A grateful environment is a substitute for happiness. It can quicken us from without as a fixed hope and affection, or the consciousness of a right life, can quicken us from within (George Santayana Quotes)
The tide of evolution carries everything before it, thoughts no less than bodies, and persons no less than nations (George Santayana Quotes)
Proofs are the last thing looked for by a truly religious mind which feels the imaginative fitness of its faith (George Santayana Quotes)

It is indeed from the experience of beauty and happiness, from the occasional harmony between our nature and our environment, that we draw our conception of the divine life (George Santayana Quotes)
Men have feverishly conceived a heaven only to find it insipid, and a hell to find it ridiculous (George Santayana Quotes)
Plasticity loves new moulds because it can fill them, but for a man of sluggish mind and bad manners there is decidedly no place like home (George Santayana Quotes)
