Madame de Stael
Men do not change they unmask themselves.
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 voice of conscience is so delicate that it is easy to stifle it but it is also so clear that it is impossible to mistake it.
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
Man's most valuable faculty is his imagination.
Madame de Stael
Innocence in genius, and candor in power, are both noble qualities.
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
One must, so long as there is any life left, back up the character of one's life.
Madame de Stael
