How true it is that our destin...

How true it is that our destinies are decided by nothings and that a small imprudence helped by some insignificant accident, as an acorn is fertilized by a drop of rain, may raise the trees on which perhaps we and others shall be crucified.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Heroism is the brilliant trium...

Heroism is the brilliant triumph of the soul over the flesh - over fear...Heroism is the dazzling and glorious concentration of courage.

Happiness does away with uglin...

Happiness does away with ugliness, and even makes the beauty of beauty.

Joy is the vital air of the soul.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

The ideal, after all, is true ...

The ideal, after all, is true than the real: for the ideal is the eternal element in perishable things.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

The history of man is essentia...

The history of man is essentially zoological; it becomes human late in the day, and then only in the beautiful souls, the souls alive to justice, goodness, enthusiasm, and devotion. The angel shows itself rarely and with difficulty through the highly-organized brute.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Criticism is above all a gift,...

Criticism is above all a gift, an intuition, a matter of tact and flair; it cannot be taught or demonstrated--it is an art. Critical genius means an aptitude for discerning truth under appearances or in disguises which conceal it; for discovering it in spite of the errors of testimony, the frauds of tradition, the dust of time, the loss or alteration of texts. It is the sagacity of the hunter whom nothing deceives for long, and whom no ruse can throw off the trail.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Before crime is committed cons...

Before crime is committed conscience must be corrupted, and every bad man who succeeds in reaching a high point of wickedness begins with this.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

The art which is grand and yet...

The art which is grand and yet simple is that which presupposes the greatest elevation both in artist and in public.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Whenever conscience speaks wit...

Whenever conscience speaks with a divided, uncertain, and disputed voice, it is not the voice of God. Descend still deeper into yourself, until you hear nothing but a clear, undivided voice, a voice which does away with doubt and brings with it persuasion, light, and serenity.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

The more a man loves, the more...

The more a man loves, the more he suffers. The sum of possible grief for each soul is in proportion to its degree of perfection.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Time is but the measure of the...

Time is but the measure of the difficulty of a conception. Pure thought has scarcely any need of time, since it perceives the two ends of an idea almost at the same moment.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Happiness has no limits, becau...

Happiness has no limits, because God has neither bottom nor bounds, and because happiness is nothing but the conquest of God through love.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Sympathy is the first conditio...

Sympathy is the first condition of criticism; reason and justice presuppose, at their origin, emotion.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Never to tire, never to grow c...

Never to tire, never to grow cold; to be patient, sympathetic, tender; to look for the budding flower and the opening heart; to hope always; like God, to love always--this is duty.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Man is saved by love and duty,...

Man is saved by love and duty, and by the hope that springs from duty, or rather from the moral facts of consciousness, as a flower springs from the soil.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Latent genius is but a presump...

Latent genius is but a presumption. Everything that can be, is bound to come into being, and what never comes into being is nothing.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Criticism is above all a gift,...

Criticism is above all a gift, an intuition, a matter of tact and flair; it cannot be taught or demonstrated--it is an art.

Before giving advice we must have secured its acceptance, or, rather, have made it desired.
