Andre Gide
Welcome anything that comes to you, but do not long for anything else.
Andre Gide
Oh, would that my mind could let fall its dead ideas, as the tree does its withered leaves! And without too many regrets, if possible! Those from which the sap has withdrawn. But, good Lord, what beautiful colors!
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
What another would have done as well as you, do not do it. What another would have said as well as you, do not say it what another would have written as well, do not write it. Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself - and thus make yourself indispensable.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide

Andre Gide
In hell there is no other punishment than to begin over and over again the tasks left unfinished in your lifetime.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Though a revolution may call itself national, it always marks the victory of a single party.
Andre Gide
The most decisive actions of life are most often unconsidered actions.
Andre Gide
Every perfect action is accompanied by pleasure. By that you can tell what you ought to do.
Andre Gide
Often the best in us springs from the worst in us.
Andre Gide
Nothing is so silly as the expression of a man who is being complimented.
Andre Gide
How do you know that the fruit is ripe? Simply because it leaves the branch.
Andre Gide
The very act of sacrifice magnifies the one who sacrifices himself to the point where his sacrifice is much more costly to humanity than would have been the loss of those for whom he is sacrificing himself. But in his abnegation lies the secret of his grandeur.
Andre Gide
