More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If it is true that wars are won by believers, it is also true that peace treaties are sometimes signed by businessmen.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We must not subject him who creates to the desires of the multitude. It is, rather, his creation that must become the multitude's desire.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Grown ups are certainly very strange.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Truth, for any man, is that which makes him a man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The dignity of the individual demands that he be not reduced to vassalage by the largesse of others.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When you tame someone they become unique to you in all the world
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The field of consciousness is tiny. It accepts only one problem at a time.
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
To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible. It is to feel shame at the sight of what seems to be unmerited misery. It is to take pride in a victory won by one's comrades. It is to feel, when setting one's stone, that one is contributing to the building of the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Demagoguery enters at the moment when, for want of a common denominator, the principle of equality degenerates into the principle of identity.
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 injustice of defeat lies in the fact that its most innocent victims are made to look like heartless accomplices. It is impossible to see behind defeat, the sacrifices, the austere performance of duty, the self-discipline and the vigilance that are there - those things the god of battle does not take account of.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If you tame me, it would be as if the sun came to shine on my life.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No one is ever satisfied where he is.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Even though human life may be the most precious thing on earth, we always behave as if there were something of higher value than human life.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Once you are my friend, I am responsible for you.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
