More quotes by Henri Frederic Amiel
Philosophy means the complete liberty of the mind, and therefore independence of all social, political or religious prejudice... It loves one thing only... truth.
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
Doubt of the reality of love ends by making us doubt everything.
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
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
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
Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library.
Henri Frederic Amiel

Henri Frederic Amiel
What we do not understand we have no right to judge
Henri Frederic Amiel
Woman is the salvation or the destruction of the family. She carries its destiny in the folds of her mantle.
Henri Frederic Amiel

Henri Frederic Amiel
To understand is to possess the thing understood, first by sympathy and then by intelligence.
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
Truth above all, even when it upsets us and overwhelms us.
Henri Frederic Amiel
It would have been a joy to me to be smiled upon, loved, encouraged, welcomed, and to obtain what I was so ready to give, kindness and goodwill. But to hunt down consideration and reputation - to force the esteem of others - seemed to me an effort unworthy of myself, almost a degradation.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Philosophy means the complete liberty of the mind.
Henri Frederic Amiel
True love is that which ennobles the personality, fortifies the heart, and sanctifies the existence.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Love is like swallowing hot chocolate before it has cooled off. It takes you by surprise at first, but keeps you warm for a long time.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Time and space are fragments of the infinite for the use of finite creatures.
Henri Frederic Amiel
