A quiet life does not make great ideas or great men; but the compulsions of crisis, the imperatives of survival, weed out dead things by the roots and quicken the growth of new ideas and ways.
The belief in heaven and the belief in utopia are like compensatory buckets in a well: when one goes down the other comes up.
Mohammed, like Moses, used religion as a means to hygiene as well as to morality, on the general principle that the rational can secure popular acceptance only in the form of the mystical.
Poets began to write for poets, and became artificial; scholars began to write for scholars, and became dull.
The law of every being is self-development; no ambition, no empire, is ever content.
Though there is drama in the details of strife, there is a dreary eternity in its causes and results; such history becomes a mental attendance upon the vicissitudes of power, in which victories and defeats cancel one another into a resounding zero.
In every epoch something is decaying and something is growing.
The study of antiquity is properly accounted worthless except as it may be made living drama, or illuminate our contemporary life.
The poor always prefer new masters to old.
The difficulties of freedom multiply with the area it embraces.
Many cities—above all, Sparta—forbade the public consideration of philosophical problems, "on account of the jealousy and strife and profitless discussions" (says Athenaeus) "to which they give rise."
No great nation is ever conquered until it has destroyed itself.
Plato concluded to a suppression of all free reasoning, a conviction that philosophy must be destroyed in order that man may live. He himself would have been the first victim of his Utopias.
Usually the power of woman rises with the wealth of a society, for when the stomach is satisfied hunger leaves the field to love.
Contentment is as rare among men as it is natural among animals, and no form of government has ever satisfied its subjects.
Though myths may differ, reason remains the same, and the life of reason makes brothers of its lovers in all times, and everywhere.
Every conquest creates a new frontier, which, being exposed to danger, suggests further conquest.
When Dionysius asked Aristippus why philosophers haunt the doors of the rich, but the rich do not frequent the presence of philosophers, he replied: "Because the first know what they want but the second do not."
Since the victor must rule, it is a boon that the rules of his mastery should be clearly expressed; in this sense law is the consistency of power.
Skepticism is uncomfortable; it leaves the common heart and imagination empty, and the vacuum soon draws in some new and encouraging creed.
