Inquiry is fatal to certainty

Forskning

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.

Underverk

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

Sivilisasjon

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

Historie

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

Sannhet

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

Ekteskap

Varje last var en gång en dygd och kan bli respektabel igen, precis som hat blir respektabel i krigstid.

Every vice was once a virtue, and may become respectable again, just as hatred becomes respectable in wartime

Laster

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

Sivilisasjon

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.

Frihet

Även när den förtrycks, växer ojämlikheten; endast den man som är under genomsnittet i ekonomisk förmåga önskar jämlikhet; de som är medvetna om sin överlägsna förmåga önskar frihet och till slut segrar den överlägsna förmågan.

Even when repressed, inequality grows; only the man who is below the average in economic ability desires equality; those who are conscious of superior ability desire freedom, and in the end superior ability has its way
