More quotes by Alphonse de Lamartine
Shall not this bygone Eden that we knew In our Eternal Life have shape and hue? For where Time is not shall not all Time be? In that calm breast whereto our souls are cleaving Shall we not find our loved ones beyond grieving About the hearth-stone of Eternity?
Alphonse de Lamartine

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
Unanimity is the mistress of strength.
Alphonse de Lamartine
The more I see of the representatives of the people, the more I admire my dogs.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Soul of the universe, Sire, God, Creator, Lord, I believe in Thee, 'neath all these names: And without having need to hear thy word, In the sky's brow my glorious creed I trace.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Modesty and dew love the shade.
Alphonse de Lamartine
My mother was convinced, and on this head I have retained her firm belief, that to kill animals for the purpose of feeding on their flesh is one of the most deplorable and shameful infirmities of the human state that it is one of those curses cast upon man either by his fall, or by the obduracy of his own perversity.
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
The photographer will never replace the painter one is a man, the other a machine. Let us compare them no longer. (1848)
Alphonse de Lamartine
Silence,--the applause of real and durable impressions.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Let us love the passing hour, let us hurry up and enjoy our time.
