More quotes by 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
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
Exquisite beauty resides rather in the female form than face, where it is also more lasting.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Let us enjoy the fugitive hour. Man has no harbor, time has no shore it rushes on, and carries us with it.
Alphonse de Lamartine
I say to this night: Pass more slowly and the dawn will come to dispel the night.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine

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
The people only understand what they can feel the only orators that can affect them are those who move them.
Alphonse de Lamartine
If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Silence and simplicity obtrude on no one, but are yet two unequaled attractions in woman.
Alphonse de Lamartine
The most effective coquetry is innocence.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Man is God by his faculty for thought.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Thou makest the man, O Sorrow!--yes, the whole man,--as the crucible gold.
Alphonse de Lamartine
I am the fellow citizen of every being that thinks my country is Truth.
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
