Anatole France
That man is prudent who neither hopes nor fears anything from the uncertain events of the future.
Anatole France
The law in its majesty prohibits rich and poor alike from sleeping under bridges.
Anatole France

Anatole France
The man of science multiples the points of contact between man and nature.
Anatole France
To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream not only plan, but also believe.
Anatole France
I prefer the folly of enthusiasm to the indifference of wisdom.
Anatole France
It's not by amusing oneself that one learns.
Anatole France
Irony is the gaiety of reflection and the joy of wisdom.
Anatole France
The heart errs like the head its errors are not any the less fatal, and we have more trouble getting free of them because of their sweetness.
Anatole France
