George Sand
Image
[Failure is hard initially because] One knows what one has lost, but not what one may find [and learn from that failure]!
George Sand
Image
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
Image
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
Image
Art for art's sake is an empty phrase. Art for the sake of truth, art for the sake of the good and the beautiful, that is the faith I am searching for.
George Sand
Image
No one makes a revolution by himself and there are some revolutions which humanity accomplishes without quite knowing how, because it is everybody who takes them in hand.
George Sand
Image
faith is like love when you want it you can't find it, and you find it when you least expect it.
George Sand
Image
Years do not always make age.
George Sand
Image
Life is a slate where all our sins are written from time to time we rub the sponge of repentance over it so we can begin sinning again.
George Sand
Image
The intellect seeks, the heart finds.
George Sand
Image
It is love, not faith, that moves mountains.
