Famous quotes by Will Durant:

"Every science begins as philosophy and ends as art"

"Education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance."

"Knowledge is the eye of desire and can become the pilot of the soul."

"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."

"To speak ill of others is a dishonest way of praising ourselves. Nothing is often a good thing to say, and always a clever thing to say."

"Education is the transmission of civilization."

"It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country."

"Science gives us knowledge, but only philosophy can give us wisdom"

"Sixty years ago I knew everything; now I know nothing; education is a progressive discovery of our own ignorance"

"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"

"There is nothing in socialism that a little age or a little money will not cure."

"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."

"Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty-four hours and too little on the last six thousand years."

"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."

"We are living in the excesses of freedom. Just take a look at 42nd Street and Broadway."

"Every form of government tends to perish by excess of its basic principle."

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

"Moral codes adjust themselves to environmental conditions."

"The ego is willing but the machine cannot go on. It's the last thing a man will admit, that his mind ages."
