More quotes by Madame de Stael
The education of life perfects the thinking mind, but depraves the frivolous.
Madame de Stael
As we grow in wisdom, we pardon more freely.
Madame de Stael
Love is a symbol of eternity. It wipes out all sense of time, destroying all memory of a beginning and all fear of an end.
Madame de Stael
Be happy, but be happy through piety.
Madame de Stael
The greater part of what women write about women is mere sycophancy to man.
Madame de Stael
Music revives the recollections it would appease.
Madame de Stael
Wit lies in recognizing the resemblance among things which differ and the difference between things which are alike.
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
We cease loving ourselves if no one loves us.
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 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
The more we know the better we forgive. Whoever feels deeply, feels for all who live.
Madame de Stael
inventiveness is childish, practice sublime.
Madame de Stael
Prayer is the life of the soul.
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
Enthusiasm signifies 'God in us.'
Madame de Stael
Why shouldn't man be as angry about not having always been alive as about having to stop being alive?
Madame de Stael
One must, so long as there is any life left, back up the character of one's life.
Madame de Stael
Whatever is natural admits of variety.
Madame de Stael
I am glad that I am not a man, for then I should have to marry a woman.
Madame de Stael
