Henri Frederic Amiel
We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves. The consciousness of wrong-doing makes us irritable, and our heart, in its cunning, quarrels with what is outside it, in order that it may deafen the clamor within.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Every man is a priest, even involuntarily his conduct is an unspoken sermon, which is forever preaching to others.
Henri Frederic Amiel
True humility is contentment.
Henri Frederic Amiel
For purposes of action nothing is more useful than narrowness of thought combined with energy of will.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Materialism coarsens and petrifies everything, making everything vulgar, and every truth false.
Henri Frederic Amiel
Dreams are excursions into the limbo of things, a semi-deliverance from the human prison.
Henri Frederic Amiel
The ideal, after all, is true than the real: for the ideal is the eternal element in perishable things.
Henri Frederic Amiel
