More quotes by Henri Frederic Amiel
We only understand that which already is within us.
Henri Frederic Amiel
To learn new habits is everything, for it is to reach the substance of life. Life is but a tissue of habits.
Henri Frederic Amiel
To win true peace, a man needs to feel himself directed, pardoned, and sustained by a supreme power, to feel himself in the right road, at the point where God would have him be - in order with God and the universe. This faith gives strength and calm.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Whenever conscience speaks with a divided, uncertain, and disputed voice, it is not the voice of God. Descend still deeper into yourself, until you hear nothing but a clear, undivided voice, a voice which does away with doubt and brings with it persuasion, light, and serenity.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Any landscape is a condition of the spirit.
Henri Frederic Amiel
A modest garden contains, for those who know how to look and to wait, more instruction than a library.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Clever people will recognize and tolerate nothing but cleverness.
Henri Frederic Amiel
To be always ready a man must be able to cut a knot, for everything cannot be untied.
Henri Frederic Amiel
The great majority of men are but tangled skeins, imperfect keyboards, so many specimens of restless or stagnant chaos--and what makes their situation almost hopeless is the fact that they take pleasure in it. There is no curing a sick man who believes himself in health.
Henri Frederic Amiel
When everything is in its right place within us, we ourselves are in balance with the whole work of God.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Tell me what you feel in your room when the full moon is shining in upon you and your lamp is dying out, and I will tell you how old you are, and I shall know if you are happy.
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
Latent genius is but a presumption. Everything that can be, is bound to come into being, and what never comes into being is nothing.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Doubt of the reality of love ends by making us doubt everything.
Henri Frederic Amiel
There are 2 sorts of pride: one in which we approve others, the other in which we cannot accept ourselves.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Joy is the vital air of the soul.
Henri Frederic Amiel
The tragic solemnity of existence strikes us with terrible force on that morning when we wake to find the mournful words too late ringing in our ears.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Knowledge, love, power-there is the complete life.
Henri Frederic Amiel
I am a spectator, so to speak, of the molecular whirlwind which men call individual life I am conscious of an incessant metamorphosis, an irresistible movement of existence, which is going on within me - and this phenomenology of myself serves as a window opened upon the mystery of the world.
Henri Frederic Amiel
There is no respect for others without humility in one's self.
Henri Frederic Amiel
