Let us enjoy the fugitive hour. Man has no harbor, time has no shore it rushes on, and carries us with it.
Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine

Alphonse de Lamartine
Too much I've seen, and felt, and lov'd in life, Living I come to seek Lethaean calm Let me, fair scenes! forget all worldly strife, Oblivion solely is my bosom's balm.
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
Experience is the only prophecy of wise men.
Alphonse de Lamartine
The reason that women are so much more sociable than men is because they act more from the heart than the intellect.
Alphonse de Lamartine
There is a woman at the begining of all great things.
Alphonse de Lamartine
Time is a great ocean which, like the other ocean, overflows with our remains.
Alphonse de Lamartine
If greatness of purpose, smallness of means, and astonishing results are the three criteria of a human genius, who could dare compare any great man in history with Muhammad?
Alphonse de Lamartine
Man is God by his faculty for thought.
Alphonse de Lamartine
The more I see of the representatives of the people, the more I admire my dogs.
Alphonse de Lamartine
