The aim of life is some way of living, as flexible and gentle as human nature; so that ambition may stoop to kindness, and philosophy to condor and humor. Neither prosperity nor empire nor heaven can be worth winning at the price of a virulent temper, bloody hands, an anguished spirit, and a vain hatred of the rest of the world.
George SantayanaTo knock a thing down, especially if it is cocked at an arrogant angle, is a deep delight of the blood.
George SantayanaSpirituality lies in regarding existence merely as a vehicle for contemplation, and contemplation merely a vehicle for joy.
George Santayana
