More quotes by George Sand
Death must no longer be either the penalty for prosperity or the consolation of misery. God did not destine it to be either the punishment or the compensation for life.
George Sand
No religion can be built on force.
George Sand
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
Celebrate within yourself that wonderful treasure . . . true kindness.
George Sand
It is a mistake to regard age as a downhill grade toward dissolution. The reverse is true. As one grows older, one climbs with surprising strides.
George Sand
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
George Sand
Life in common among people who love each other is the ideal of happiness.
George Sand
Travelling is like a novel: it's what happens that counts.
George Sand
If they are ignorant, they are despised, if learned, mocked. In love they are reduced to the status of courtesans. As wives they are treated more as servants than as companions. Men do not love them: they make use of them, they exploit them, and expect, in that way, to make them subject to the law of fidelity.
George Sand
To eat together is one of the greatest promoters of intimacy. It is the satisfaction in common of a material necessity of existence, and if you seek a loftier meaning in it, it is a communion.
George Sand
Our work can never be better than we are ourselves.
George Sand
No place is ugly to those who understand the virtues and sweetness of everything that God has made.
George Sand
Admiration and familiarity are strangers.
George Sand
If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.
George Sand
The whole secret of the study of nature lies in learning how to use one's eyes.
George Sand
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
George Sand
Simplicity is the essence of the great, the true, the beautiful in art.
George Sand
Nowadays it seems that moral education is no longer considered necessary. Attention is wholly centered on intelligence, while the heart life is ignored.
George Sand
Gossiping is the plague of little towns.
George Sand
faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
George Sand
