More quotes by Alphonse de Lamartine
The people only understand what they can feel the only orators that can affect them are those who move them.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Enthusiasm is the intoxication of earnestness.
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
Newspapers will ultimately engross all literature.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Thou makest the man, O Sorrow!--yes, the whole man,--as the crucible gold.
Alphonse de Lamartine
When a dog is in your life, there is always a reason to laugh.
Alphonse de Lamartine
The more I see of the representatives of the people, the more I admire my dogs.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Friendship, sweet-resting place of the soul, the gloaming wherein our hearts find peace.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Music is the literature of the heart it commences where speech ends.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Virginity is the poetry, not the reality, of life.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Enthusiasm springs from the imagination, and self-sacrifice from the heart. Women are, therefore, more naturally heroic than men. All nations have in their annals some of these miracles of patriotism, of which woman is the instrument in the hands of God.
Alphonse de Lamartine
The founder of twenty terrestrial empires and of one spiritual empire, that is Muhammed. As regards all standards by which human greatness may be measured, we may well ask, is there any man greater than he?
Alphonse de Lamartine
God has placed the genius of women in their hearts, because the works of this genius are always works of love.
Alphonse de Lamartine
If God is thy father, human beings are thy brothers and sisters.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Love is the enchanted dawn of every heart.
Alphonse de Lamartine
We are earth's children, and life is the same in sap as in blood all that the earth, our mother, feels and expresses to the eye by her form and aspect, in melancholy or in splendor, finds an echo within us.
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
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
Man hath no Heaven and Time's coast is chartless. He speeds we pass away!
Alphonse de Lamartine
Love of country produces among men such examples as Cincinnatus, Alfred, Washington--pure, unselfish, symmetrical among women, Vittoria Colonna, Madame Roland, Charlotte Corday, Jeanne Darc--romantic, devoted, marvelous.
