Alexander created cities everywhere he passed: I have left dreams everywhere I have trailed my life.

Every institution goes through three stages - utility, privilege, and abuse.

The most disastrous times have produced the greatest minds. The purest metal comes of the most ardent furnace; the most brilliant lightning come of the darkest clouds.

Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand 35 quotes

Forests precede civilizations...

Forests precede civilizations and deserts follow them.

My downfall made a great nois...

My downfall made a great noise: those who appeared most satisfied criticized the manner of it.

There is nothing beautiful or...

There is nothing beautiful or sweet or great in life that is not mysterious.

Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand 35 quotes

We must not always try to plu...

We must not always try to plumb the depths of the human heart; the truths it contains are among those that are best seen in half-light or in perspective.

Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand 35 quotes

There is no religion without ...

There is no religion without mysteries. God Himself is the great secret of Nature.

Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand 35 quotes

As soon as a true thought has...

As soon as a true thought has entered our mind, it gives a light which makes us see a crowd of other objects which we have never perceived before.

Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand 35 quotes

The original writer is not he...

The original writer is not he who refrains from imitating others, but he who can be imitated by none.

I am Bourbon as a matter of honour, royalist according to reason and conviction, and republican by taste and character.

I value in the cat the indepe...

I value in the cat the independent and almost ungrateful spirit which prevents her from attaching herself to any one, the indifference with which she passes from the salon to the housetop. When we caress her, she stretches herself and arches her back responsively; but this is because she feels an agreeable sensation, not because she takes a silly satisfaction, like the dog, in faithfully loving a thankless master. The cat lives alone, has no need of society, obeys only when she pleases, pretends to sleep that she may see more clearly, and scratches everything on which she can lay her paw.

What importance can we attach...

What importance can we attach to the things of this world? Friendship? It disappears when the one who is liked comes to grief, or the one who likes becomes powerful. Love? it is deceived, fleeting, or guilty. Fame? You share it with mediocrity or crime. Fortune? Could that frivolity be counted a blessing? All that remains are those so-called happy days that flow past unnoticed in the obscurity of domestic cares, leaving man with the desire neither to lose his life nor to begin it over.

Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand 35 quotes

Every man carries within hims...

Every man carries within himself a world made up of all that he has seen and loved; and it is to this world that he returns, incessantly, though he may pass through and seem to inhabit a world quite foreign to it.

Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand 35 quotes

An original writer is not one...

An original writer is not one who imitates nobody, but one whom nobody can imitate.

Love decreases when it ceases to increase.

One is not superior merely because one sees the world as odious.

Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand 35 quotes

Something you consider bad ma...

Something you consider bad may bring out your child's talents; something you consider good may stifle them.

Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand 35 quotes

A master in the art of living...

A master in the art of living draws no sharp distinction between his work and his play; his labor and his leisure; his mind and his body; his education and his recreation. He hardly knows which is which.

Francois-Rene de Chateaubriand 35 quotes

Religion assures us that our ...

Religion assures us that our afflictions shall have an end; she comforts us, she dries our tears, she promises us another life. On the contrary, in the abominable worship of atheism, human woes are the incense, death is the priest, a coffin the altar, and annihilation the Deity.
