George Santayana
There is no cure for birth and death save to enjoy the interval.
A man's feet should be planted in his country, but his eyes should survey the world.
Advertising is the modern substitute for argument; its function is to make the worse appear the better.
America is a young country with an old mentality.
Before you contradict an old man, my fair friend, you should endeavor to understand him.
Character is the basis of happiness and happiness the sanction of character.
The wisest mind has something yet to learn.
Nothing is really so poor and melancholy as art that is interested in itself and not in its subject.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
Intolerance itself is a form of egoism, and to condemn egoism intolerantly is to share it.
George Santayana (December 16, 1863, Madrid – September 26, 1952, Rome), was a philosopher, essayist, poet, and novelist.
A lifelong Spanish citizen, Santayana was raised and educated in the United States, invariably wrote in English, and is considered an American man of letters. He is perhaps best known for the oft-misquoted remark, "Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it," from Reason in Common Sense, the first volume of his The Life of Reason.
