More quotes by Jules Verne
The wisest man may be a blind father.
Jules Verne
There is hope for the future, and when the world is ready for a new and better life, all these things will some day come to pass, - in God's good time
Jules Verne
External objects produce decided effects upon the brain. A man shut up between four walls soon loses the power to associate words and ideas together. How many prisoners in solitary confinement become idiots, if not mad, for want of exercise for the thinking faculty!
Jules Verne
The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.
Jules Verne
There are no impossible obstacles there are just stronger and weaker wills, that’s all!

While there is life there is hope. I beg to assert...that as long as a man's heart beats, as long as a man's flesh quivers, I do not allow that a being gifted with thought and will can allow himself to despair.
Jules Verne
Therever fortune clears a way, thither our ready footsteps stray.
Jules Verne
How tranquil is a coral tomb, and may the heavens grant that my companions and I be buried in no other!
Jules Verne
You will travel in a Land of Marvels
Jules Verne
All great actions return to God, from whom they are derived.
Jules Verne
Anything one man can imagine, other men can make real.
Jules Verne
I wanted to see what no one had yet observed, even if I had to pay for this curiosity with my life.
Jules Verne
With time and thought, one can do a good job.
Jules Verne
