More quotes by Anatole France
It is only the poor who pay cash, and that not from virtue, but because they are refused credit.
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

Anatole France
You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.

Anatole France
Universal peace will be realized, not because man will become better, but because a new order of things, a new science, new economic necessities, will impose peace.
Anatole France
In art as in love, instinct is enough.
Anatole France

Anatole France
A person is never happy except at the price of some ignorance. [The ability to focus on positives and distract your mind from negatives for at least a time is a necessary skill for being happy.]
Anatole France
A dictionary is merely the universe arranged in alphabetical order.
Anatole France
In every well-governed state wealth is a sacred thing in democracies it is the only sacred thing.
Anatole France
In its majestic equality, the law forbids rich and poor alike to sleep under bridges, beg in the streets and steal loaves of bread.
Anatole France
Ugly women may be naturally quite as capricious as pretty ones but as they are never petted and spoiled, and as no allowances are made for them, they soon find themselves obliged either to suppress their whims or to hide them.
Anatole France
Without lies humanity would perish of despair and boredom.
