Jules Renard
In the most complete friendship there is always a little empty space, like the space in an egg.
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
Writing is the best way to talk without being interrupted.
Jules Renard

Jules Renard
Do not ask me to be kind just ask me to act as though I were.
Jules Renard

Jules Renard
Failure is not our only punishment for laziness there is also the success of others.
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
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
The profession of letters is, after all, the only one in which one can make no money without being ridiculous.
Jules Renard
Posterity! Why should people be less stupid tomorrow than they are today?
Jules Renard
