More quotes by 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
Love is the enchanted dawn of every heart.
Alphonse de Lamartine
I love the people because I believe in God. For, if I did not believe in God, what would the people be to me? I should enjoy at ease that lucky throw of the dice, which chance had turned up for me, the day of my birth and, with a secret, savage joy, I should say, So much the worse for the losers!--the world is a lottery. Woe to the conquered!
Alphonse de Lamartine
The attractiveness that exists to man in the very helplessness of woman is scarcely realized.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Experience is the only prophecy of wise men.
Alphonse de Lamartine
We don't have two hearts, one for animals and one for humans we have one heart or we don't have any.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine
Man, it seems, is not able to bear the languid rest on Nature's bosom, and when the trumpet sounds the signal of danger, he hastens to join his comrades, no matter what the cause that calls him to arms. He rushes into the thickest of the fight, and amid the uproar of the battle regains confidence in himself and his powers.
Alphonse de Lamartine
It is in the habits of lawyers that every accusation appears insufficient if they do not exaggerate it even to calumny it is thus that justice itself loses its sanctity and its respect amongst men.
Alphonse de Lamartine
History is neither more nor less than biography on a large scale.
Alphonse de Lamartine
We cannot have two hearts, one for the animals and one for men. In cruelty towards the former and cruelty to the latter there is no difference but in the victim.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Modesty and dew love the shade.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Let us love the passing hour, let us hurry up and enjoy our time.
Alphonse de Lamartine
There is a name hidden in the shadow of my soul, where I read it night and day and no other eye sees it.
Alphonse de Lamartine
What mortal is there, over whose first joys and happiness does not break some storm, dispelling with its icy breath his fanciful illusions, and shattering his altar?
Alphonse de Lamartine
Man is born barbarous--he is ransomed from the condition of beasts only by being cultivated.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Friendship, sweet-resting place of the soul, the gloaming wherein our hearts find peace.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Man is God by his faculty for thought.
Alphonse de Lamartine
