Jacques Maritain Quotes

A great philosopher in the wrong is like a beacon on the reefs which says to seamen: steer clear of me Picture Quote #1

To philosophize man must put his whole soul into play, in much the same manner that to run he must use his heart and lungs Picture Quote #1

With all his sincerity and devotion, the authentic, absolute atheist is after all only an abortive saint, and at the same time, a mistaken revolutionist Picture Quote #1

To redeem creation the saint wages war on the entire fabric of creation, with the bare weapons of truth and love Picture Quote #1

Authority and power are two different things: power is the force by means of which you can oblige others to obey you. Authority is the right to direct and command, to be listened to or obeyed by others. Authority requests power. Power without authority is tyranny Picture Quote #1

If it is correct to say that there will always be rightist temperaments and leftist temperaments, it is nevertheless also correct to say that political philosophy is neither rightist nor leftist; it must simply be true Picture Quote #1

We do not need a truth to serve us, we need a truth that we can serve Picture Quote #1

The more the poet grows, the deeper the level of creative intuition descends into the density of his soul. Where formerly he could be moved to song, he can do nothing now, he must dig deeper Picture Quote #1

Since science’s competence extends to observable and measurable phenomena, not to the inner being of things, and to the means, not to the ends of human life, it would be nonsense to expect that the progress of science will provide men with a new type of metaphysics, ethics, or religion Picture Quote #1

The spiritual experience of the philosopher is the nourishing soil of philosophy; that without it there is no philosophy; and that, even so, spiritual experience does not, or must not, enter into the intelligible texture of philosophy. The pulp of the fruit must consist of nothing but the truth Picture Quote #1
