Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine
Radicalism is but the desperation of logic.
Alphonse de Lamartine
We cannot have two hearts, one for the animals and one for men. In cruelty towards the former and cruelty to the latter there is no difference but in the victim.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Unanimity is the mistress of strength.
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
Sad is his lot, who, once at least in his life, has not been a poet.
Alphonse de Lamartine
True greatness is sovereign wisdom. We are never deceived by our virtues.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Eloquence dwells quite as much in the hearts of the hearers as on the lips of the orator.
Alphonse de Lamartine
There is a woman at the begining of all great things.
Alphonse de Lamartine
