More quotes by Jules Renard
We don't understand life any better at forty than at twenty, but we know it and admit it
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 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
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
Dreaming is to think by moonlight by the light of an inner moon.
Jules Renard
I find that when I do not think of myself I do not think at all.
Jules Renard
We spend our lives talking about this mystery. Our life.
Jules Renard
if I were to begin my life again, I should want it as it was. I would only open my eyes a little more.
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
The bourgeois are other people.
Jules Renard
I am afraid I shall not find him, but I shall still look for him, for if he exists, he may be appreciative of my efforts.
Jules Renard
Do not ask me to be kind just ask me to act as though I were.
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
Man who waits for roast duck to fly into mouth must wait very, very long time.
Jules Renard
Clarity is the politeness of the man of letters.
Jules Renard
Some people are so boring that they make you waste an entire day in five minutes.
Jules Renard
Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.
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
We must be greater than God, for we have to undo His injustice.
Jules Renard
