More quotes by Andre Gide
There's a law in life: whenever a door closes, a new one will open.
Andre Gide
It is easier to lead men to combat, stirring up their passion, than to restrain them and direct them toward the patient labors of peace.
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
In hell there is no other punishment than to begin over and over again the tasks left unfinished in your lifetime.
Andre Gide
It is often so: the harder it is to hear, the more a truth is worth saying.
Andre Gide
He who makes great demands upon himself is naturally inclined to make great demands on others.
Andre Gide
The most beautiful things are those that madness prompts and reason writes.
Andre Gide
I am lost if I attempt to take count of chronology. When I think over the past, I am like a person whose eyes cannot properly measure distances and is liable to think things extremely remote which on examination prove to be quite near.
Andre Gide
Do not scorn little victories.
Andre Gide
I find just as much profit in cultivating my hates as my loves.
Andre Gide
Of some forty families I have been able to observe, I know hardly four in which the parents do not act in such a way that nothing would be more desirable for the child than to escape their influence.
Andre Gide
I advise the young to tell themselves constantly that most often it is up to them alone.
Andre Gide
The most beaten paths are certainly the surest, but do not hope to start much game on them.
Andre Gide
If only we could lean over the soul we love and see as in a mirror the image we cast!
Andre Gide
In other people's company I felt I was dull, gloomy, unwelcome, at once bored and boring.
Andre Gide
The thing I am most aware of is my limits. And this is natural for I never, or almost never, occupy the middle of my cage my whole being surges toward the bars.
Andre Gide
An experience teaches only the good observer but far from seeking a lesson in it, everyone looks for an argument in experience, and everyone interprets the conclusion in his own way.
Andre Gide
To read a writer is for me not merely to get an idea of what he says, but to go off with him and travel in his company.
Andre Gide
Man is more interesting than men. God made him and not them in his image. Each one is more precious than all.
Andre Gide
Believe in your strength and your vision. Learn to repeat to yourself, 'It all depends on me'.
Andre Gide
