The great and admirable strength of America consists in this, that America is truly the American people (Jacques Maritain Quotes)

The tragedy of modern democracies is that they have not yet succeeded in effecting democracy (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
For to love is to give what one is, his very being, in the most absolute, the most brazenly metaphysical, the least phenomenalizable sense of this word (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
Poetry proceeds from the totality of man, sense, imagination, intellect, love, desire, instinct, blood and spirit together (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
A single idea, if it is right, saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
Americans seem sometimes to believe that if you are a thinker you must be a frowning bore, because thinking is so dam serious (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
The poet knows himself only on the condition that things resound in him, and that in him, at a single awakening, they and he come forth together out of sleep (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
We don’t love qualities; we love a person; sometimes by reason of their defects as well as their qualities (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
In loving things and the being in them man should rather draw things up to the human level than reduce humanity to their measure (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
There is nothing man desires more than a heroic life: There is nothing less common to men than heroism (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
The truth of practical intellect is understood not as conformity to an extramental being but as conformity to a right desire; the end is no longer to know what is, but to bring into existence that which is not yet (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
At each epoch of history the world was in a hopeless state, and at each epoch of history the world muddled through; at each epoch the world was lost, and at each epoch it was saved (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
When one’s function is to teach the loftiest wisdom, it is difficult to resist the temptation to believe that until you have spoken, nothing has been said (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
Since art is a virtue of the intellect, it demands to communicate with the entire universe of the intellect. Hence it is that the normal climate of art is intelligence and knowledge: its normal soil, the civilized heritage of a consistent and integrated system of beliefs and values; its normal horizon, the infinity of human experience enlighted by the passionate insight of anguish or the intellectual virtues of a contemplative mind (Jacques Maritain Quotes)
