More quotes by Madame de Stael
Love is admiring with the heart. And admiring is loving with the mind.
Madame de Stael
When women oppose themselves to the projects and ambition of men, they excite their lively resentment if in their youth they meddle with political intrigues, their modesty must suffer.
Madame de Stael
[The Germans] so easily confuse obstinacy with energy, and rudeness with firmness.
Madame de Stael
Enthusiasm signifies 'God in us.'
Madame de Stael
Between God and love, I recognize no mediator but my conscience.
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
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
The more we know the better we forgive. Whoever feels deeply, feels for all who live.
Madame de Stael
Love, supreme power of the heart, mysterious enthusiasm that encloses in itself all poetry, all heroism, all religion!
Madame de Stael
Love is the whole history of a woman's life, it is but an episode in a man's.
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
Men do not change they unmask themselves.
Madame de Stael
Be happy, but be happy through piety.
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
Prayer is the life of the soul.
Madame de Stael
Never, never have I been loved as I love others!
Madame de Stael
What matters in a character is not whether one holds this or that opinion: what matters is how proudly one upholds it.
Madame de Stael
Whatever is natural admits of variety.
Madame de Stael
Wit lies in recognizing the resemblance among things which differ and the difference between things which are alike.
Madame de Stael
