More quotes by 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 void yields up nothing. You have to be a great poet to make it ring.
Jules Renard
I am never bored to be bored is an insult to one's self.
Jules Renard
We are so happy to advise others that occasionally we even do it in their interest.
Jules Renard
Wrinkles are engraved smiles.
Jules Renard
To think is not enough, you must think of something.
Jules Renard
We must be greater than God, for we have to undo His injustice.
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
God, he whom everyone knows, by name.
Jules Renard
To succeed you must add water to your wine, until there is no more wine.
Jules Renard
Some people are so boring that they make you waste an entire day in five minutes.
Jules Renard
Dreaming is to think by moonlight by the light of an inner moon.
Jules Renard

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
There are moments when everything goes well, but don't be frightened.
Jules Renard
There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire.
Jules Renard
If one were to build the house of happiness, the largest space would be the waiting room.
Jules Renard
Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very, very long time.
Jules Renard
We are ignorant of the Beyond because this ignorance is the condition of our own life. Just as ice cannot know fire except by melting and vanishing.
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
