“Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art; it arises in hypothesis and flows into achievement.”

“The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.”

“Ultimately there are but three systems of ethics, three conceptions of the ideal character and the moral life.”

“Civilizations are the generations of the racial soul. As family-rearing, and then writing, bound the generations together, handing down the lore of the dying to the young, so print and commerce and a thousand ways of communication may bind the civilizations together, and preserve for future cultures all that is of value for them in our own. Let us, before we die, gather up our heritage, and offer it to our children.”

“The trouble with most people is that they think with their hopes or fears or wishes rather than with their minds.”

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit.”

“I might have added, as it entered my mind to do, that some people found satisfaction in being. Being. Others in becoming. Being people have all the breaks. Becoming people are very unlucky, always in a tizzy. The Becoming people are always have to make explanations or offer justifications of the Being people. While the Being people provoke these explanations.”

“Sitting still is a pain in the ass.”

“Il est ce qui échappe à l'activité des hommes, à la reconsidération et à la correction de leur œuvre.”
