More quotes by George Sand
If people were not wicked I should not mind their being stupid but, to our misfortune, they are both.
George Sand
Be prudent, and if you hear, * * * some insult or some threat, * * * have the appearance of not hearing it.
George Sand
Happiness lies in the consciousness we have of it.
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
Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age, and to imagine right up to the brink of death that life is only beginning. I think that is the only way to keep adding to one's talent, and one's inner happiness.
George Sand
Experience is always a trustworthy guide it may not tell you everything, but it never lies.
George Sand
You see what stupid folk my publishers are but they are all alike.
George Sand
Punctuation has its own philosophy, just as style does, although not as language does. Style is a good understanding of language, punctuation is a good understanding of style.
George Sand
As far as I am concerned I would rather spend the rest of my life in prison than marry again.
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
God has written in the law of nature that when two people are joined in love or friendship, one must always give his heart more perfectly than the other.
George Sand
All your trouble comes from lack of exercise. A man of your strength and constitution ought always to have kept physically active. So don't jibe at the very wise advice that sentences you to one hour's walk a day. You imagine the work of the mind takes place only in the brain but you're much mistaken. It takes place in the legs as well.
George Sand
Believe in no other God than the one who insists on justice and equality among men.
George Sand
Celebrate within yourself that wonderful treasure . . . true kindness.
George Sand
A child motivated by competitive ideals will grow into a man without conscience, shame, or true dignity.
George Sand
The old woman I shall become will be quite different from the woman I am now. Another I is beginning.
George Sand
A cigar numbs sorrow and fills the solitary hours with a million gracious images.
George Sand
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
I'm beginning to believe that there are angels disguised as men who pass themselves off as such and who inhabit the earth for a while to console and lift up with them toward heaven the poor, exhausted and saddened souls who were ready to perish here below.
George Sand
