Alphonse de Lamartine
Friendship, sweet-resting place of the soul, the gloaming wherein our hearts find peace.
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
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
Enthusiasm is the intoxication of earnestness.
Alphonse de Lamartine
God - but a word invoked to explain the world.
Alphonse de Lamartine
