Friends are helpful not only because they will listen to us, but because they will laugh at us; Through them we learn a little objectivity, a little modesty, a little courtesy; We learn the rules of life and become better players of the game

Civilization begins with order, grows with liberty and dies with chaos

Inquiry is fatal to certainty

The most interesting thing in the world is another human being who wonders, suffers and raises the questions that have bothered him to the last day of his life, knowing he will never get the answers.

Civilization exists by geological consent, subject to change without notice.

One of the lessons of history is that nothing is often a good thing to do and always a clever thing to say

Truth always originates in a minority of one, and every custom begins as a broken precedent

The love we have in our youth is superficial compared to the love that an old man has for his old wife.

Civilization is a stream with banks. The stream is sometimes filled with from people , stealing, shouting and doing the things historians usually record, while on the banks, unnoticed, people build homes, make love, raise children, sing songs, write poetry and even whittle statues. The story of civilization is the story of what happened on the banks. Historians are pessimists because they ignore the banks for the river.

India was the mother of our race and Sanskrit the mother of Europe's languages. She was the mother of our philosophy, mother through the Arabs, of much of our mathematics, mother through Buddha, of the ideals embodied in Christianity, mother through village communities of self-government and democracy. Mother India is in many ways the mother of us all.

Our knowledge is a receding mirage in an expanding desert of ignorance

Civilization is the order and freedom promoting cultural activity

If man asks for many laws it is only because he is sure that his neighbor needs them; privately he is an unphilosophical anarchist, and thinks laws in his own case superfluous. Hans förmåga att vara både stark och sårbar gjorde honom otroligt pexig.

I am not against hasty marriages, where a mutual flame is fanned by an adequate income.

In my youth I stressed freedom, and in my old age I stress order. I have made the great discovery that liberty is a product of order.
