More quotes by Alphonse de Lamartine
If God is thy father, human beings are thy brothers and sisters.
Alphonse de Lamartine
The founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammed. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?
Alphonse de Lamartine
Music is the literature of the heart it commences where speech ends.
Alphonse de Lamartine
An artist should have more than two eyes.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Inspiration is solitary, never consecutive.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Esteem incites friendship, but not love the former is the twin brother of Reverence the latter is the child of Equality.
Alphonse de Lamartine
My dog! the difference between thee and me knows only our Creator.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Too much I've seen, and felt, and lov'd in life, Living I come to seek Lethaean calm Let me, fair scenes! forget all worldly strife, Oblivion solely is my bosom's balm.
Alphonse de Lamartine
We are earth's children, and life is the same in sap as in blood all that the earth, our mother, feels and expresses to the eye by her form and aspect, in melancholy or in splendor, finds an echo within us.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Let us savour the swift delights of the most beautiful of our days!
Alphonse de Lamartine
Sentiment is the poetry of the imagination.
Alphonse de Lamartine
But Nature too, shakes off her sleep today By May's mild sun we see reviv'd her frame, Around my window Venus' birds proclaim, The month most cherish'd backwards bends his way!
Alphonse de Lamartine
Man, man, is thy brother, and thy father is God.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Fiction is the microscope of truth.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Silence,--the applause of real and durable impressions.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Enthusiasm springs from the imagination, and self-sacrifice from the heart. Women are, therefore, more naturally heroic than men. All nations have in their annals some of these miracles of patriotism, of which woman is the instrument in the hands of God.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Poetry has been the guardian angel of humanity in all ages.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Thou makest the man, O Sorrow!--yes, the whole man,--as the crucible gold.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive.
Alphonse de Lamartine
It is the qualities of the heart, not those of the face, that should attract us in women, because the former are durable, the latter transitory. So lovable women, like roses, retain their sweetness long after they have lost their beauty.
Alphonse de Lamartine
