More quotes by Madame de Stael
O Earth! All bathed with blood and tears, yet never, Hast thou ceased putting forth thy fruit and flowers.
Madame de Stael
Glory can be for a woman but the brilliant morning of happiness.
Madame de Stael
Life teaches much, but to all thinking persons it brings ever closer the will of God - not because their faculties decline, but on the contrary, because they increase.
Madame de Stael
New doctrines ever displease the old. They like to fancy that the world has been losing wisdom, instead of gaining it, since they were young.
Madame de Stael
Prayer is the life of the soul.
Madame de Stael
And all the bustle of departure - sometimes sad, sometimes intoxicating - just as fear or hope may be inspired by the new chances of coming destiny.
Madame de Stael
One must, in one's life, make a choice between boredom and suffering.
Madame de Stael
Who understands much, forgives much.
Madame de Stael
I learn life from the poets.
Madame de Stael
[Ridicule] laughs at all those who see the earnestness of life and who still believe in true feelings and in serious thought ... It soils the hope of youth. Only shameless vice is above its reach.
Madame de Stael
However old a conjugal union, it still garners some sweetness. Winter has some cloudless days, and under the snow a few flowers still bloom.
Madame de Stael
When a noble life has prepared old age, it is not decline that it reveals, but the first days of immortality.
Madame de Stael
To pray together, in whatever tongue or ritual, is the most tender brotherhood of hope and sympathy that man can contract in this life.
Madame de Stael
One must, so long as there is any life left, back up the character of one's life.
Madame de Stael
a perfect piece of architecture kindles that aimless reverie, which bears the soul we know not whither.
Madame de Stael
Enthusiasm gives life to what is invisible and interest to what has no immediate action on our comfort in this world.
Madame de Stael
[The Germans] so easily confuse obstinacy with energy, and rudeness with firmness.
Madame de Stael
The evil arising from mental improvement can be corrected only by a still further progress in that very improvement. Either morality is a fable, or the more enlightened we are, the more attached to it we become.
Madame de Stael
The life of famous men was more glorious in antiquity the life of obscure men is happier with the moderns.
Madame de Stael
The world is the work of a single thought, expressed in a thousand different ways.
Madame de Stael
