More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Every person that comes into our life comes for a reason some come to learn and others come to teach.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Life always bursts the boundaries of formulas.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When the body sinks into death, the essence of man is revealed. Man is a knot, a web, a mesh into which relationships are tied. Only those relationships matter. The body is an old crock that nobody will miss. I have never known a man to think of himself when dying. Never.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
More wisdom is latent in things as they are than in all the words men use.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What do we mean by setting a man free? You cannot free a man who dwells in a desert and is an unfeeling brute.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The airplane has unveiled for us the true face of the earth.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Nothing can match the treasure of common memories.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He had taken seriously words which were without importance, and it made him very unhappy.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A pilot's business is with the wind, and with the stars, with night, with sand, with the sea. He strives to outwit the forces of nature. He stares with expectancy for the coming of the dawn the way a gardener awaits the coming of spring. He looks forward to port as a promised land, and truth for him is what lives in the stars.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Men have forgotten this truth, said the fox. But you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is not for us to forecast the future, but to shape it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Man's progress is but a gradual discovery that his questions have no meaning.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What sets men at variance is but the treachery of language, for always they desire the same things.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To forget a friend is sad. Not every one has had a friend. And if I forget him, I may become like the grown−ups who are no longer interested in anything but figures.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You know...my flower...I'm responsible for her. And she's so weak! And so naive. She has four ridiculous thorns to defend her against the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The tender friendships one gives up, on parting, leave their bite on the heart, but also a curious feeling of a treasure somewhere buried.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It's a question of discipline, the little prince told me later on. When you've finished washing and dressing each morning, you must tend your planet.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time. Get into a fist fight, put your mind on the strategy of the fight, and you will not feel the other fellow's punches.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
