More quotes by Henri Frederic Amiel
To do what is impossible for talent is the mark of genius.
Henri Frederic Amiel

Henri Frederic Amiel
What we do not understand we have no right to judge
Henri Frederic Amiel
The musician of the present day, not being able to give us what is beautiful, torments himself to give us what is new.
Henri Frederic Amiel
From every spot on earth we are equally near heaven and the infinite.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Order means light and peace, inward liberty and free command over one's self order is power.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Happiness has no limits, because God has neither bottom nor bounds, and because happiness is nothing but the conquest of God through love.
Henri Frederic Amiel

Henri Frederic Amiel
True humility is contentment.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Life is an apprenticeship to the constant renunciations, to the steady failure of our claims, our hopes, our powers, our liberty.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Man is saved by love and duty, and by the hope that springs from duty, or rather from the moral facts of consciousness, as a flower springs from the soil.
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
Man is a passion which brings a will into play, which works an intelligence.
Henri Frederic Amiel
If nationality is consent, the state is compulsion.
Henri Frederic Amiel
What we call little things are merely the causes of great things.
Henri Frederic Amiel
To know how to suggest is the art of teaching.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Sacrifice, which is the passion of great souls, has never been the law of societies.
Henri Frederic Amiel
