By ceaseless efforts to live the good life we maintain our moral sanity.
Not from without, but from within, flow the divine waters that renew the
soul.
-Felix Adler
Humility is the best evidence of sanity.
-Stuart Wilde
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
-Edgar
Allan Poe
I had a quick grasp of the secret to sanity- it had become the ability
to hold the maximum of impossible combinations in one's mind.
-Norman
Mailer
I hope for peace and sanity- it's the same thing.
-Studs Terkel
Neither conscience nor sanity itself suggests, that the United States
is, or should or could be the global gendarme.
-Robert McNamara
Nothing I read about grief seemed to exactly express the craziness of
it; which was the interesting aspect of it to me- how really tenuous our
sanity is.
-Joan Didion
Now it is symptomatic of our rusty-beer-can type of sanity that our
culture produces very few magical objects.
-Alan Watts
Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of
the city, the security of the state. Like beams in a house or bones to a
body, so is order to all things.
-Robert Southey
People who develop the habit of thinking of themselves as world citizens
are fulfilling the first requirement of sanity in our time.
-Norman
Cousins

inconsistently inconsistent.

freedom, his impulse toward sanity, toward higher levels of attainment
in all of his endeavors.
-L. Ron Hubbard
The plague of mankind is the fear and rejection of diversity:
monotheism, monarchy, monogamy and, in our age, monomedicine. The belief
that there is only one right way to live, only one right way to regulate
religious, political, sexual, medical affairs is the root cause of the
greatest threat to man: members of his own species, bent on ensuring his
salvation, security, and sanity.
-Thomas Szasz
The statistics on sanity are that one out of every four Americans is
suffering from some form of mental illness. Think of your three best
friends. If they're okay, then it's you.
-Rita Mae Brown
There is no insanity so devastating in man's life as utter sanity.
-William
Allen White
Work is our sanity, our self-respect, our salvation. The day's work is
the center of everything.
