Alphonse de Lamartine
Man hath no Heaven and Time's coast is chartless. He speeds we pass away!
Alphonse de Lamartine
Poetry is the morning dream of great minds.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine
When a dog is in your life, there is always a reason to laugh.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine
Before this century shall run out, journalism will be the whole press. Mankind will write their book day by day, hour by hour, page by page. Thought will spread abroad with the rapidity of light--instantly conceived, instantly written, instantly understood at the extremities of the earth.
Alphonse de Lamartine

But Nature too, shakes off her sleep today By May's mild sun we see reviv'd her frame, Around my window Venus' birds proclaim, The month most cherish'd backwards bends his way!
Alphonse de Lamartine
If God is thy father, human beings are thy brothers and sisters.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Philosophy is the rational expression of genius.
Alphonse de Lamartine
It is admirable to die the victim of one's faith it is sad to die the dupe of one's ambition.
Alphonse de Lamartine
He, who can create, abhors destruction.
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 Dreary the blank when she is withdrawn!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
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
If they say you have your last chance to look at the world, I wish that look would from Çamlıca of Istanbul.
Alphonse de Lamartine
There is no man more complete than the one who travelled a lot, who changed the shape of his thoughts and his life twenty times.
