If you can spend a perfectly useless afternoon in a perfectly useless manner, you have learned how to live - Lin Yutang

It is not when he is working in the office but when he is lying idly on the sand that his soul utters, "Life is beautiful."

And did not the degeneration of religion begin with reason itself? As Santayana says, the process of degeneration of religion was due to too much reasoning: “This religion unhappily long ago ceased to be wisdom expressed in fancy in order to become superstition overlaid with reasoning.” The decay of religion is due to the pedantic spirit, in the invention of creeds, formulas, articles of faith, doctrines and apologies. We become increasingly less pious as we increasingly justify and rationalize our beliefs and become so sure that we are right.

Every man must find his own philosophy, his attitude towards life.
