More quotes by Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
No single event can awaken within us a stranger whose existence we had never suspected. To live is to be slowly born.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One must observe the proper rites.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He who bears in his heart a cathedral to be built is already victorious. He who seeks to become sexton of a finished cathedral is already defeated.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What value has compassion that does not take its object in its arms?
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
War is not an adventure. It is a disease. It is like typhus.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is the duty of the ship's captain to make port, cost what it may.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
I have lived a great deal among grown-ups. I have seen them intimately, close at hand. And that hasn’t much improved my opinion of them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Defeat may prove to have been the only path to resurrection, despite its ugliness.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Living is being born slowly. It would be a little too easy if we could borrow ready-made souls.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You're beautiful, but you're empty.... No one could die for you.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
An administration, like a machine, does not create. It carries on.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is to feel that one's own stone contributes to building the edifice of the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
We are forever responsible for that which we have tamed.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
One must require from each one the duty which each one can perform. Accepted authority rests first of all on reason.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
He who never says no is no true man.
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
For, to conceited men, all other men are admirers.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
