Henri Frederic Amiel
[I]t is truth alone-scientific, established, proved, and rational truth-which is capable of satisfying nowadays the awakened minds of all classes. We may still say perhaps, 'faith governs the world,'-but the faith of the present is no longer in revelation or in the priest-it is in reason and in science.
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
Nothing resembles pride so much as discouragement.
Henri Frederic Amiel
At bottom there is but one subject of study: the forms and metamorphoses of mind. All other subjects may be reduced to that all other studies bring us back to this study.
Henri Frederic Amiel
The only substance properly so called is the soul.
Henri Frederic Amiel
