More quotes by Joseph Joubert
Our ideals, like pictures, are made from lights and shadows.
Joseph Joubert
Liquid, flowing words are the choicest and the best, if language is regarded as music. But when it is considered as a picture, then there are rough words which are very telling, they make their mark.
Joseph Joubert
Strength is natural, but grace is the growth of habit. This charming quality requires practice if it is to become lasting.
Joseph Joubert
Work like you don't need the money.
Joseph Joubert
I love prudence very little, if it is not moral.
Joseph Joubert
Old age takes from the man of intellect no qualities save those that are useless to wisdom.
Joseph Joubert
History needs distance, perspective. Facts and events which are too well attested cease, in some sort, to be malleable.
Joseph Joubert
Education should be gentle and stern, not cold and lax.
Joseph Joubert
Beautiful works do not intoxicate, but they enchant.
Joseph Joubert
Thus, if the clarity of our thoughts comes through better in a play of words, then the wordplay is good. One must know how to enter the ideas of others and how to leave them.
Joseph Joubert
Genius begins beautiful works, but only labor finishes them.
Joseph Joubert
Know that morality is a curb, not a spur.
Joseph Joubert
Virtue is the health of the soul.
Joseph Joubert
The Bible is to religion what the Iliad is to poetry
Joseph Joubert
Space is the stature of God.
Joseph Joubert
The ways suited to confidence are familiar to me, but not those that are suited to familiarity.
Joseph Joubert
A part of kindness consists in loving people more than they deserve.
Joseph Joubert
I resemble the poplar,--that tree which, even when old, still looks young.
Joseph Joubert
Nothing ruins the truth like stretching it... GET RICH QUICK! Count your blessings... Stop telling GOD how big your storm is. Instead, tell the storm how big your GOD is!!!!!! Contentment begins where comparison ends. The aim of argument, or of discussion, should not be victory, but progress.
Joseph Joubert
Sexes. One has the look of a wound, the other of something skinned.
Joseph Joubert
