What we call little things are merely the causes of great things.

There is no repose for the min...

There is no repose for the mind except in the absolute; for feeling, except in the infinite; for the soul, except in the divine.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Men prefer the false due to ha...

Men prefer the false due to habit, passion, will. Preference for truth is rare. Men are ruled by their fear of truth.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Men don't achieve truth becaus...

Men don't achieve truth because they lack humility and love of truth. They won't criticize their own beliefs. Truth would overwhelm them.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Philosophy starts with doubt and loves only truth.

Sadness takes up the pen more readily than joy.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

At the bottom of the modern ma...

At the bottom of the modern man there is always a great thirst for self-forgetfulness, self-distraction . . . and therefore he turns away from all those problems and abysses which might recall to him his own nothingness.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Pay bad people with your goodn...

Pay bad people with your goodness; fight their hatred with your kindness. Even if you do not achieve a victory over other people, you will conquer yourself.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

The growth and development of ...

The growth and development of the soul is more important than power and glory.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

We are never more discontented...

We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves. The consciousness of wrong-doing makes us irritable, and our heart, in its cunning, quarrels with what is outside it, in order that it may deafen the clamor within.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

Order is a great person's need...

Order is a great person's need and their true well being.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

The ideal doctor would be a ma...

The ideal doctor would be a man endowed with profound knowledge of life and of the soul, intuitively divining any suffering or disorder of whatever kind, and restoring peace by his mere presence.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

In every loving woman there is a priestess of the past

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

About Jesus we must believe no...

About Jesus we must believe no one but himself.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

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.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

It is work which gives flavor to life.

Henri-Frederic Amiel 355 quotes

The obscure only exists that i...

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.

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

We only understand that which ...

We only understand that which already is within us.
