We are all visionaries, and what we see is our soul in things.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Doubt of the reality of love ends by making us doubt everything.
Henri Frederic Amiel

Henri Frederic Amiel
Our duty is to be useful, not according to our desires but according to our powers.
Henri Frederic Amiel

Henri Frederic Amiel

Henri Frederic Amiel
Do not despise your situation in it you must act, suffer, and conquer. From every point on earth we are equally near to heaven and to the infinite.
Henri Frederic Amiel
I'm not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You're as old as you feel.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Mutual respect implies discretion and reserve even in love itself it means preserving as much liberty as possible to those whose life we share. We must distrust our instinct of intervention, for the desire to make one's own will prevail is often disguised under the mask of solicitude.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Righteous ends, thus approved, absolve of guilt the most violent means.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Learn to... be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not.
Henri Frederic Amiel
