George Sand
Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.

George Sand
It is high time that we had lights that are not incendiary torches.
George Sand

George Sand
To forgive a fault in another is more sublime than to be faultless one's self.
George Sand
I have no enthusiasm for nature which the slightest chill will not instantly destroy.
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
There is but on virtue--the eternal sacrifice of self.
George Sand
Ah! that Senate is a world of ice and darkness! It votes the destruction of peoples as the simplest and wisest thing for its members themselves are moribund.
