More quotes by 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
Brutality to an animal is cruelty to mankind - it is only the difference in the victim.
Alphonse de Lamartine
He, who can create, abhors destruction.
Alphonse de Lamartine
There are places and climates, seasons and hours, with their outward circumstance, so much in harmony with certain impressions of the heart, that Nature and the soul of man appear to be parts of one vast whole.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Chance often gives us that which we should not have presumed to ask.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Radicalism is but the desperation of logic.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Void of freedom, what would virtue be?
Alphonse de Lamartine
A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.
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
I am the fellow citizen of every being that thinks my country is Truth.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Joy is a flame which association alone can keep alive, and which goes out unless communicated.
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
Private passions grow tired and wear themselves out political passions, never.
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
God - but a word invoked to explain the world.
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
Kindness is virtue itself.
Alphonse de Lamartine
If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad?
Alphonse de Lamartine
It is for truth that God created genius.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Argument should be polite as well as logical.
Alphonse de Lamartine
