Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I shall never again admire a merely brave man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No individual is isolated. He who is sad, saddens others.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The essential things in life are seen, not with the eyes but with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
An administration, like a machine, does not create. It carries on.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The wind in the grain is the caress to the spouse it is the hand of peace stroking her hair.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The thing that is important is the thing that is not seen.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The machine does not isolate man from the great problems of nature but plunges him more deeply into them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
