More quotes by Alphonse de Lamartine

Woe to the conquered!
Alphonse de Lamartine
All nature is the temple earth the altar.
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

Alphonse de Lamartine
Hence life, as through a cloud, for me I see Vanish, and to the past's dark shade 'tis chas'd As a grand image love remains to me-- Sole remnant of a dream, by morn effac'd.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Barbarism recommences by the excess of civilization.
