More From George Santayana

O world, thou choosest not the better part! it is not wisdom to be only wise, and on the inward vision close the eyes, but it is wisdom to believe the heart. columbus found a world, and had no chart, save one that faith deciphered in the skies; to trust the soul's invincible surmise was all his science and his only art.
Wise Art Believe
The history taught in our schools is scandalous. we grew up believing that columbus actually discovered america. we still celebrate columbus day. columbus was after one thing only - gold.
Believe School America
My paramount object in this struggle is to save the union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. if i could save the union without freeing any slave i would do it, and if i could save it by freeing all the slaves i would do it; and if i could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone i would also do that. what i do about slavery, and the colored race, i do because i believe it helps to save the union; and what i forbear, i forbear because i do not believe it would help to save the union.
War Believe Struggle
Faith and daily life, faith and work-these are not separate things. they are one and the same. to think of them as separate-that faith is faith, and work is work-is theoretical faith. based on the recognition that work and faith are one and the same, we should put one hundred percent of our energy into our jobs and one hundred percent into our faith, too. when we resolve to do this, we enter the path of victory in life. faith means to show irrefutable proof of victory amid the realities of society and in our own daily lives.
Jobs Mean Reality
The two men who have done the greatest harm to the world are christ and columbus. christ taught us guilt and sacrifice, to live only in the other world, and columbus discovered america and materialism.
Sacrifice Men Other Worlds
The world is full of people who have lost faith: politicians who have lost faith in politics, social workers who have lost faith in social work, schoolteachers who have lost faith in teaching and, for all i know, policemen who have lost faith in policing and poets who have lost faith in poetry. it's a condition of faith that it gets lost from time to time, or at least mislaid.

Kindness has converted more sinners than either zeal, eloquence, or learning; and these three last have never converted any.
Forgiveness Faith Kindness
Faith affirms many things, respecting which the senses are silent, but nothing that they deny. it is superior, but never opposed to their testimony
Faith Silent Deny
Indeed, not all attacks-especially the bitter and ridiculing kind leveled at darwin-are offered in good faith, but for practical purposes it is good policy to assume that they are.
Faith Science Purpose
The sense of smell, like a faithful counsellor, foretells its character.
