More quotes by Jules Renard
Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
Jules Renard
We spend our lives talking about this mystery. Our life.
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
The void yields up nothing. You have to be a great poet to make it ring.
Jules Renard
Some people are so boring that they make you waste an entire day in five minutes.
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
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
Paradise does not exist, but we must nonetheless strive to be worthy of it.
Jules Renard
Don't tell a woman she's pretty tell her there's no other woman like her, and all roads will open to you.
Jules Renard
Acting of some actors seems natural, because they have no talent.
Jules Renard
It is in the midst of the city that one writes the most inspiring pages about the country.
Jules Renard
There are no friends only moments of friendship.
Jules Renard
It astounds us to come upon other egoists, as though we alone had the right to be selfish, and to be filled with eagerness to live.
Jules Renard
If money does not make you happy, give it back
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 story I am writing exists, written in absolutely perfect fashion, some place, in the air. All I must do is find it, and copy it.
Jules Renard
If one were to build the house of happiness, the largest space would be the waiting room.
Jules Renard
The profession of letters is, after all, the only one in which one can make no money without being ridiculous.
Jules Renard
It is more difficult to be an honorable man for a week than to be a hero for fifteen minutes.
Jules Renard
As I grow to understand life less and less, I learn to love it more and more.
Jules Renard
