Experience is the only prophecy of wise men.
Alphonse de Lamartine
He, who can create, abhors destruction.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Poetry is the morning dream of great minds.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Music is the literature of the heart it commences where speech ends.
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
Esteem incites friendship, but not love the former is the twin brother of Reverence the latter is the child of Equality.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Silence,--the applause of real and durable impressions.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Death, with funereal shades in vain surrounds me, My reason through his darkness seeth light: 'Tis the last step which brings me close to Thee: 'Tis the veil falling, 'twixt Thy face and mine.
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
There is no man more complete than the one who travelled a lot, who changed the shape of his thoughts and his life twenty times.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Joy is a flame which association alone can keep alive, and which goes out unless communicated.
Alphonse de Lamartine
The more I see of the representatives of the people, the more I admire my dogs.
Alphonse de Lamartine
My dog! the difference between thee and me knows only our Creator.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Utopias are often just premature truths.
Alphonse de Lamartine
France is revolutionary or she is nothing at all. The revolution of1789 is her political religion.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Nature has given women two painful but heavenly gifts, which distinguish them, and often raise them above human nature,--compassion and enthusiasm. By compassion, they devote themselves by enthusiasm they exalt themselves.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Men are misers, and women prodigal, in affection.
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
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
The impartiality of history is not that of the mirror, which merely reflects objects, but of the judge, who sees, listens, and decides.
Alphonse de Lamartine
