Alphonse de Lamartine
Barbarism recommences by the excess of civilization.
Alphonse de Lamartine
The loss of a mother is always keenly felt, even if her health be such as to incapacitate her from taking an active part in the care of the family. She is the sweet rallying-point for affection, obedience, and a thousand tendernesses. Dreary the blank when she is withdrawn!
Alphonse de Lamartine
Every time that a people which has long crouched in slavery and ignorance is moved to its lowest depths there appear monsters and heroes, prodigies of crime and prodigies of virtue.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Friendship, sweet-resting place of the soul, the gloaming wherein our hearts find peace.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine
What is our life but a succession of preludes to that unknown song whose first solemn note is sounded by death?
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
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
Music is the literature of the heart it commences where speech ends.
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
After his blood, that which a man can next give out of himself is a tear.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Ink is the transcript of thought.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Photography is better than art. It is a solar phenomenon in which the artist collaborates with the sun.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Man hath no Heaven and Time's coast is chartless. He speeds we pass away!
Alphonse de Lamartine
