Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If I were to command a general to turn into a seagull, and if the general did not obey, that would not be the general's fault. It would be mine.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.

That is the hardest thing of all. It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself, it's because you're truly a wise man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The important thing is to strive toward a goal which is not immediately visible. That goal is not the concern of the mind, but of the spirit.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.
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
The dignity of the individual demands that he be not reduced to vassalage by the largesse of others.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I will appoint captains to rule my cities, for it is in the compelling zest of high adventure and of victory, and in creative action, that man finds his supreme joys.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The friend within the man is that part of him which belongs to you and opens to you a door which never, perhaps, is opened to another. Such a friend is true, and all he says is true and he loves you even if he hates you in other mansions of his heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When you give yourself, you receive more than you give.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
