Henri Frederic Amiel
Common sense is the measure of the possible it is composed of experience and prevision it is calculation applied to life.
Henri Frederic Amiel
It is by teaching that we teach ourselves, by relating that we observe, by affirming that we examine, by showing that we look, by writing that we think, by pumping that we draw water into the well.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Heroism is the brilliant triumph of the soul over the flesh - over fear...Heroism is the dazzling and glorious concentration of courage.
Henri Frederic Amiel
We are all visionaries, and what we see is our soul in things.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Knowledge, love, power-there is the complete life.
Henri Frederic Amiel
The stationary condition is the beginning of the end
Henri Frederic Amiel
There is an illusion of central position, justifying one's own purposes as right and everybody else¹s as wrong, and providing a proper degree of paranoia. Righteous ends, thus approved, absolve of guilt the most violent means.
Henri Frederic Amiel
