More quotes by Joseph Joubert
Avoid singularity. There may often be less vanity in following the new modes than in adhering to the old ones. It is true that the foolish invent them, but the wise may conform to, instead of contradicting, them.
Joseph Joubert
Genuinely good remarks surprise their author as well as his audience.
Joseph Joubert
Children must be rendered reasonable, but not reasoners. The first thing to teach them is that it is reasonable for them to obey, and unreasonable for them to dispute.
Joseph Joubert
God is the place where I do not remember the rest.
Joseph Joubert
Haughty people seem to me to have, like the dwarfs, the stature of a child and the face of a man.
Joseph Joubert
Never write anything that does not give you great pleasure. Emotion is easily transferred from the writer to the reader.
Joseph Joubert
Virtue is the health of the soul.
Joseph Joubert
It is an aspect of all happiness to suppose that we deserve it.
Joseph Joubert
To see the world is to judge the judges.

Joseph Joubert

Joseph Joubert
If authorities were well organized, there would not be an Unknown Warrior.
Joseph Joubert
Let us be men with men, and always children before God for in His eyes we are but children. Old age itself, in presence of eternity, is but the first moment of a morning.
Joseph Joubert
To teach is to learn twice. About all some parents accomplish in life is to send a child to Harvard. The purpose of a liberal education is to make one's mind a pleasant place to spend one's leisure.
Joseph Joubert
Tormented by the cursed ambition always to put a whole book in a page, a whole page in a sentence, and this sentence in a word. I am speaking of myself.
Joseph Joubert
The lively phraseology of Montesquieu was the result of long meditation. His words, as light as wings, bear on them grave reflections.
Joseph Joubert
A thought is a thing as real as a cannonball.
Joseph Joubert
Fancy, an animal faculty, is very different from imagination, which is intellectual. The former is passive but the latter is active and creative. Children, the weak minded, and the timid are full of fancy. Men and women of intellect, of great intellect, are alone possessed of great imagination.
Joseph Joubert
