More quotes by Jules Renard
Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Jules Renard
Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.
Jules Renard
There is a justice, but we do not always see it. Discreet, smiling, it is there, at one side, a little behind injustice, which makes a big noise.
Jules Renard
The strong do not hesitate. They settle down, they sweat, they go on to the end. They exhaust the ink, they use up the paper.
Jules Renard
If I had my life to live over again, I would ask that not a thing be changed, but that my eyes be opened wider.
Jules Renard
In the most complete friendship there is always a little empty space, like the space in an egg.
Jules Renard
Style means the right word. The rest matters little.
Jules Renard
There are moments when everything goes well, but don't be frightened.
Jules Renard
We don't understand life any better at forty than at twenty, but we know it and admit it
Jules Renard
Let us stay at home: there we are decent. Let us not go out: our defects wait for us at the door, like flies.
Jules Renard
There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire.
Jules Renard
I am never bored to be bored is an insult to one's self.
Jules Renard
When I think of all the books still left for me to read, I am certain of further happiness.
Jules Renard
The ideal of calm exists in a sitting cat.
Jules Renard
We must be greater than God, for we have to undo His injustice.
Jules Renard
A beautiful line of verse has twelve feet, and two wings.
Jules Renard
The reward of great men is that, long after they have died, one is not quite sure that they are dead
Jules Renard
Life is what our character makes it. We fashion it, as a snail does its shell. A man can say: I never made a fortune because it is not in my character to be rich.
Jules Renard
It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn't say.
Jules Renard
Paradise does not exist, but we must nonetheless strive to be worthy of it.
Jules Renard
