More quotes by Alphonse de Lamartine
Death, with funereal shades in vain surrounds me, My reason through his darkness seeth light: 'Tis the last step which brings me close to Thee: 'Tis the veil falling, 'twixt Thy face and mine.
Alphonse de Lamartine
If God is thy father, human beings are thy brothers and sisters.
Alphonse de Lamartine
To love for the sake of being loved is human, but to love for the sake of loving is angelic.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Man, man, is thy brother, and thy father is God.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine
Modesty and dew love the shade.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine
The more I see of the representatives of the people, the more I admire my dogs.
Alphonse de Lamartine

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
Kindness is virtue itself.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Man, it seems, is not able to bear the languid rest on Nature's bosom, and when the trumpet sounds the signal of danger, he hastens to join his comrades, no matter what the cause that calls him to arms. He rushes into the thickest of the fight, and amid the uproar of the battle regains confidence in himself and his powers.
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 Dreary the blank when she is withdrawn!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
Private passions tire and exhaust themselves, public ones never.
Alphonse de Lamartine
If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Religions are not proved, are not demonstrated, are not established, are not overthrown by logic! They are of all the mysteries of nature and the human mind, the most mysterious and most inexplicable they are of instinct and not of reason.
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
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
Thou makest the man, O Sorrow!--yes, the whole man,--as the crucible gold.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Love is the enchanted dawn of every heart.
Alphonse de Lamartine
