Kant, as we all know, compared moral law to the starry heavens, and found them both sublime. On the naturalistic hypothesis we should rather compare it to the protective blotches on a beetle's back, and find them both ingenious.

The tyranny of majorities may be as bad as the tyranny of Kings.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

And realize that life is the best thing ever, and that you have no business taking it for granted. Care so deeply about its goodness that you want to spread it around. Take money...and give it to charity. Work in a soup kitchen. Be a Big Brother or Sister...You want to do well, but if you do not do good too, then doing well will never be enough.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

Society, dead or alive, can have no charm without intimacy and no intimacy without an interest in trifles.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

Though the parallel is not co...

Though the parallel is not complete, it is safe to say that science will never touch them unaided by its practical applications. Its wonders may be catalogued for purposes of education, they may be illustrated by arresting experiments, by numbers and magnitudes which startle or fatigue the imagination but they will form no familiar portion of the intellectual furniture of ordinary men unless they be connected, however remotely, with the conduct of ordinary life.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

His Majesty's Government view...

His Majesty's Government views with favour the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people, and will use their best endeavours to facilitate the achievement of this object, it being clearly understood that nothing shall be done which may prejudice the civil and religious rights of existing non-Jewish communities in Palestine, or the rights and political status enjoyed by Jews in any other country.

Our Scottish theory ... is that every country has need of Scotchmen, but that Scotland has no need of the citizens of any other country.

His Majesty's Government looks with favour upon the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jews.

He [A. J. Balfour] was eminently one of the Cole Porter school of famous men, who only fell to rise again. Picking himself up and brushing himself down became a minor art form, ruefully admired by his contemporaries.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

Science preceded the theory of science, and is independent of it. Science preceded naturalism, and will survive it.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

Man, so far as natural scienc...

Man, so far as natural science by itself is able to teach us, is no longer the final cause of the universe, the Heaven-descended heir of all the ages. His very existence is an accident, his story a brief and transitory episode in the life of one of the meanest of the planets.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

The power of authority is never more subtle and effective than when it produces a psychological atmosphere or climate favorable to the life of certain modes of belief, unfavorable, and even fatal, to the life of others.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

Every human soul is of infini...

Every human soul is of infinite value, eternal, free; no human being, therefore, is so placed as not to have within his reach, in himself and others, objects adequate to infinite endeavor.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

I am more or less happy when being praised, not very comfortable when being abused, but I have moments of uneasiness when being explained.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

Imperishable moments and immo...

Imperishable moments and immortal deeds, death itself and love stronger than death, will be as though they had never been. The energies of our system will decay, the glory of the sun will be dimmed and the earth tideless and inert, will no longer tolerate the race which has for the moment disturbed its solitude. Man will go down into the pit and all his thoughts will perish. The uneasy consciousness, which in this obscure corner has for a brief space broken the contented silence of the universe, will be at rest.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

He has only half learned the art of reading who has not added to it the more refined art of skipping and skimming.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

Nothing matters very much, and few things matter at all.

Arthur Balfour 53 quotes

It is unfortunate, considering that enthusiasm moves the world, that so few enthusiasts can be trusted to speak the truth.

I thought Winston Churchill was a young man of promise, but it appears he is a young man of promises.
