Mutual respect implies discret...

Mutual respect implies discretion and reserve even in love itself; it means preserving as much liberty as possible to those whose life we share. We must distrust our instinct of intervention, for the desire to make one's own will prevail is often disguised under the mask of solicitude.

He who is too much afraid of being duped has lost the power of being magnanimous.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

To be always ready a man must ...

To be always ready a man must be able to cut a knot, for everything cannot be untied.

The masses are the material of democracy, but its form-that is to say, the laws which express the general reason, justice, and utility-can only be rightly shaped by wisdom, which is by no means a universal property.

Faith is certitude without proofs ... Faith is a sentiment, for it is a hope; it is an instinct, for it precedes all outward instruction.

From every spot on earth we are equally near heaven and the infinite.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

We are always making God our accomplice, that so we may legalize our own iniquities. Every successful massacre is consecrated by a Te Deum, and the clergy have never been wanting in benedictions for any victorious enormity.

Our greatest illusion is to be...

Our greatest illusion is to believe that we are what we think ourselves to be.

About Jesus we must believe no one but himself.

Every man is a priest, even in...

Every man is a priest, even involuntarily; his conduct is an unspoken sermon, which is forever preaching to others.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Do not despise your situation;...

Do not despise your situation; in it you must act, suffer, and conquer. From every point on earth we are equally near to heaven and to the infinite.

It is work which gives flavor to life.

The obscure only exists that it may cease to exist. In it lies the opportunity of all victory and all progress. Whether it call itself fatality, death, night, or matter, it is the pedestal of life, of light, of liberty and the spirit. For it represents resistance -- that is to say, the fulcrum of all activity, the occasion for its development and its triumph.

In every loving woman there is a priestess of the past

To depersonalize man is the dominant drift of our times.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Our true history is scarcely e...

Our true history is scarcely ever deciphered by others. The chief part of the drama is a monologue, or rather an intimate debate between God, our conscience, and ourselves. Tears, grieves, depressions, disappointments, irritations, good and evil thoughts, decisions, uncertainties, deliberations --all these belong to our secret, and are almost all incommunicable and intransmissible, even when we try to speak of them, and even when we write them down.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

A woman is sometimes fugitive,...

A woman is sometimes fugitive, irrational, indeterminable, illogical and contradictory. A great deal of forbearance ought to be shown her, and a good deal of prudence exercised with regard to her, for she may bring about innumerable evils without knowing it. Capable of all kinds of devotion, and of all kinds of treason, monster incomprehensible, raised to the second power, she is at once the delight and the terror of man.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

We only understand that which ...

We only understand that which already is within us.

Women wish to be loved without...

Women wish to be loved without a why or a wherefore; not because they are pretty, or good, or well-bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves
