The family is one of nature's masterpieces.
From George Santayana
Those who do not remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
When men and women agree, it is only in their conclusions; their reasons are always different.
The world is a perpetual caricature of itself; at every moment it is the mockery and the contradiction of what it is pretending to be.
Never build your emotional life on the weaknesses of others.
To delight in war is a merit in the soldier, a dangerous quality in the captain, and a positive crime in the statesman.
Nonsense is so good only because common sense is so limited.
Knowledge is not eating, and we cannot expect to devour and possess what we mean. Knowledge is recognition of something absent; it is a salutation, not an embrace.
Many possessions, if they do not make a man better, are at least expected to make his children happier; and this pathetic hope is behind many exertions.
Intolerance is a form of egotism, and to condemn egotism intolerantly is to share it.
