Religion is an attempt, a noble attempt, to suggest in human terms more-than-human realities.

Christopher Morley 175 quotes

Blessed is the satirist; and blessed the ironist; blessed the witty scoffer, and blessed the sentimentalist; for each, having seen one spoke of the wheel, thinks to have seen all, and is content.

Truth and Beauty (perhaps Keats was wrong in identifying them: perhaps they have the relation of Wit and Humour, or Rain and Rainbow) are of interest only to hungry people. There are several kinds of hunger. If Socrates, Spinoza, and Santayana had had free access to a midnight icebox we would never have heard of them. Shall I be ashamed of my little mewing truths?... I ask to be forgiven: they are such tiny ones.

A mind too proud to unbend over the small ridiculosa of life is as painful as a library with no trash in it.

One of the penalties of being a human being is other human beings.

Friendships do not grow up in any carefully tended and contemplated fashion.... They begin haphazard.

Truth is the ricochet of a prejudice bouncing off a fact.

It will be a shock to men when they realize that thoughts that were fast enough for today are not fast enough for tomorrow. But thinking tomorrow's thoughts today is one kind of future life.

Heavy hearts, like heavy clouds in the sky, are best relieved by the letting of a little water.
