More quotes by Jacques Maritain
There is room neither for the poet nor for the contemplator in an egalitarian world.
Jacques Maritain
In loving things and the being in them man should rather draw things up to the human level than reduce humanity to their measure.
Jacques Maritain
The equality of rights of all citizens is the basic tenet of modern democratic societies.
Jacques Maritain
Christianity taught men that love is worth more than intelligence.
Jacques Maritain
A true Christian is a man who never for a moment forgets what God has done for him in Christ and whose whole comportment and whose activity have their root in the sentiment of gratitude.
Jacques Maritain
Some truths are seen better through tears.
Jacques Maritain
To be free is of the essence of every intellectual being.
Jacques Maritain
With all his sincerity and devotion, the authentic, absolute atheist is after all only an abortive saint, and at the same time, a mistaken revolutionist.
Jacques Maritain
Not only does the democratic state of mind stem from the inspiration of the Gospel, but it cannot exist without it.
Jacques Maritain
It has never been recommended to confuse loving with seeking to please... ...Salome pleased Herod's guests I can hardly believe she was burning with love for them. As for poor John the Baptist... ...she certainly did not envelop him in her love.
Jacques Maritain
When one's function is to teach the loftiest wisdom, it is difficult to resist the temptation to believe that until you have spoken, nothing has been said.
Jacques Maritain
It is impossible for a Christian to be a relativist.
Jacques Maritain
Let us not go faster than God. It is our emptiness and our thirst that He needs, not our plentitude.
Jacques Maritain
The philosopher says that God's knowledge is the measure of things, and that things are the measure of man's knowledge.
Jacques Maritain
The day when efficacy would prevail over truth will never come for the Church, for then the gates of hell would have prevailed against her.
Jacques Maritain
At each epoch of history the world was in a hopeless state, and at each epoch of history the world muddled through at each epoch the world was lost, and at each epoch it was saved.
Jacques Maritain
The spiritual experience of the philosopher is the nourishing soil of philosophy that without it there is no philosophy and that, even so, spiritual experience does not, or must not, enter into the intelligible texture of philosophy. The pulp of the fruit must consist of nothing but the truth.
Jacques Maritain
To redeem creation the saint wages war on the entire fabric of creation, with the bare weapons of truth and love.
Jacques Maritain
The poet knows himself only on the condition that things resound in him, and that in him, at a single awakening, they and he come forth together out of sleep.
Jacques Maritain
A single idea, if it is right, saves us the labor of an infinity of experiences.
Jacques Maritain
