More quotes by Anatole France
What frightens us most in a madman is his sane conversation.
Anatole France
God forbids suicide, and is unwilling that his creatures should destroy themselves.
Anatole France
A tale without love is like beef without mustard: insipid.
Anatole France
Awaken people's curiosity. It is enough to open minds, do not overload them. Put there just a spark.
Anatole France
Chance is the pseudonym God uses when He'd rather not sign His own name.
Anatole France
Distrust even Mathematics albeit so sublime and highly perfected, we have here a machine of such delicacy it can only work in vacuo, and one grain of sand in the wheels is enough to put everything out of gear. One shudders to think to what disaster such a grain of sand may bring a Mathematical brain. Remember Pascal.
Anatole France
America, where thanks to Congress, there are forty million laws to enforce the Ten Commandments.
Anatole France
Dictionary: The universe in alphabetical order.
Anatole France
It is remarkable how great an influence our clothes have on our moral state.
Anatole France
There is only one science, love, one riches, love, only one policy, love. To make love is all the law and the prophets.
Anatole France
Innocence most often is a good fortune and not a virtue.
Anatole France
Nothing spoils a confession like repentance.
Anatole France
God, conquered, will become Satan Satan, conquering, will become God. May the fates spare me this terrible lot I love the Hell which formed my genius. I love the Earth where I have done some good, if it be possible to do any good in this fearful world where beings live but by rapine.
Anatole France
Custom alone regulates morals.
Anatole France
If the path be beautiful, let us not ask where it leads.
Anatole France
The faculty of doubting is rare among men. A few choice spirits carry the germs of it in them, but these do not develop without training.
Anatole France
The dog is a religious animal. In his savage state he worships the moon and the lights that float upon the waters. These are his gods to whom he appeals at night with long-drawn howls.
Anatole France
Never lend books, for no one ever returns them the only books I have in my library are books that other folks have left me.
Anatole France
You become a good writer just as you become a good joiner: by planing down your sentences.
Anatole France
No government ought to be without censors and where the press is free, no one ever will. Chance is the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign.
Anatole France
