More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A chief is a man who assumes responsibility. He says 'I was beaten,' he does not say 'My men were beaten.'
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The strong are strengthened by reverses the trouble is that the true meaning of events scores next to nothing in the match we play with men. Appearances decide our gains or losses and the points are trumpery. And a mere semblance of defeat may hopelessly checkmate us.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.
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 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
Peace dies when the framework is ripped apart. When there is no longer a place that is yours in the world. When you know no longer where your friend is to be found.
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
I shall never again admire a merely brave man.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A man has many parts, he is virtually everything, and you are free to select in him that part which pleases you.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
The seed haunted by the sun never fails to find its way between the stones in the ground. And the pure logician, if no sun draws him forth, remains entangled in his logic.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When I find a woman attractive, I have nothing at all to say. I simply watch her smile. Intellectuals take apart her face in order to explain it bit by bit, but they no longer see the smile.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
But eyes are blind. You have to look with the heart.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Surely a man needs a closed place wherein he may strike root and, like the seed, become. But also he needs the great Milky Way above him and the vast sea spaces, though neither stars nor ocean serve his daily needs.
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
To grasp the meaning of the world of today we use a language created to express the world of yesterday. The life of the past seems to us nearer our true natures, but only for the reason that it is nearer our language.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He who would travel happy must travel lite.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Only the unknown frightens men. But once a man has faced the unknown, that terror becomes the known.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
If France is to be judged, judge her not by the effects of her defeat but by her readiness to sacrifice herself.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
