You cannot oppose reasoning to pride, the principal of all the vices, since, by its very nature, the proud man refuses to listen to it.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Far better to be the simplest...

Far better to be the simplest pedestrian, with knapsack on back, stick in hand, and gun on shoulder, than an Indian prince travelling with all the ceremonial which his rank requires.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

In spite of the opinions of c...

In spite of the opinions of certain narrow-minded people, who would shut up the human race upon this globe, as within some magic circle it must never outstep, we shall one day travel to the moon, the planets, and the stars, with the same facility, rapidity, and certainty as we now make the voyage from Liverpool to New York!

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Now, when an American has an ...

Now, when an American has an idea, he directly seeks a second American to share it. If there be three, they elect a president and two secretaries. Given four, they name a keeper of records, and the office is ready for work; five, they convene a general meeting, and the club is fully constituted.

It is said that the night brings counsel, but it is not said that the counsel is necessarily good.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

A man of merit owes himself to the homage of the rest of mankind who recognize his worth.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

If Providence has created the stars and the planets, man has called the cannonball into existence.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

The sea is everything. It cov...

The sea is everything. It covers seven tenths of the terrestrial globe. Its breath is pure and healthy. It is an immense desert, where man is never lonely, for he feels life stirring on all sides.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Fellows who have rascally fac...

Fellows who have rascally faces have only one course to take, and that is to remain honest; otherwise, they would be arrested off-hand.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

I repeat that the distance be...

I repeat that the distance between the earth and her satellite is a mere trifle, and undeserving of serious consideration. I am convinced that before twenty years are over, one-half of our earth will have paid a visit to the moon.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Nothing can astound an American. It has often been asserted that the word 'impossible' is not a French one. People have evidently been deceived by the dictionary. In America, all is easy, all is simple; and as for mechanical difficulties, they are overcome before they arise.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Well, my friend, this earth w...

Well, my friend, this earth will one day be that cold corpse; it will become uninhabitable and uninhabited like the moon, which has long since lost all its vital heat.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Imagine a society in which th...

Imagine a society in which there were neither rich nor poor. What evils, afflictions, sorrows, disorders, catastrophes, disasters, tribulations, misfortunes, agonies, calamities, despair, desolation and ruin would be unknown to man!

Jules Verne 176 quotes

As long as a man's heart beat...

As long as a man's heart beats, as long as a man's flesh quivers, I do not allow that a being gifted with thought and will can allow himself to despair.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

The sea is the vast reservoir...

The sea is the vast reservoir of Nature. The globe began with sea, so to speak; and who knows if it will not end with it?

Jules Verne 176 quotes

Man, a mere inhabitant of the...

Man, a mere inhabitant of the earth, cannot overstep its boundaries! But though he is confined to its crust, he may penetrate into all its secrets.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

An energetic man will succeed...

An energetic man will succeed where an indolent one would vegetate and inevitably perish.

Jules Verne 176 quotes

When one has taken root, one ...

When one has taken root, one puts out branches.

With happiness as with health...

With happiness as with health: to enjoy it, one should be deprived of it occasionally.
