A faithful friend is the true image of the Deity. - [Friends] A journalist is a grumbler, a censurer, a giver of advice, a regent of sovereigns, a tutor of nations. Four hostile newspapers are more to be feared than a thousand bayonets. - [Education] A well-composed song strikes the mind and softens the feelings, and produces a greater effect than a moral work, which convinces our reason, but does not warm our feelings, nor effect the slightest alteration in our habits. - [Ballads] Ability is of little account with opportunity. - [Ability] Across the chasm of eighteen hundred years Jesus Christ makes a demand which is beyond all others difficult to satisfy. He asks that for which a philosopher may often seek in vain at the hands of his friends, or a father of his children, or a bride of her spouse, or a man of his brother. He asks for the human heart; he will have it entirely to himself; he demands it unconditionally, and forthwith his demand is granted. Wonderful! - [Christ] Alexander, Caesar, Charlemagne and I myself have founded empires; but upon what do these creations of our genius depend? Upon force, Jesus alone founded His empire upon love; and to this very day millions would die for Him. - [Christ] All celebrated people lose on a close view. - [Dignity] All Italians are plunderers. [It., Gli Italiani tutti ladroni.] Not all but a good part. [It., Non tutti, ma buona parte.] - said when in Italy, and the response by a lady who overheard him [Italy] All systems of morality are fine. The Gospel alone has exhibited a complete assemblage of the principles of morality divested of all absurdity. It is not composed, like your creed, of a few commonplace sentences put in bad verse. Do you wish to see that which is really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer. - [Bible] All systems of morality are fine. The gospel alone has exhibited a complete assemblage of the principles of morality, divested of all absurdity. It is not composed, like your creed, of a few common-place sentences put into bad verse. Do you wish to see that which is really sublime? Repeat the Lord's Prayer. - [Morality] All the great captains have performed vast achievements by conforming with the rules of art--by adjusting efforts to obstacles. - [Perseverance] All the scholastic scaffolding falls, as a ruined edifice, before one single word--faith. - [Faith] All the women in the world would not make me lose an hour. - [Women] America is a fortunate country. She grows by the follies of our European nations. - [America] An aristocracy is the true support of a monarchy. - [Aristocracy] Brave deeds are the monuments of brave men. - [Monuments] But it is at home and not in public that one should wash ones dirty linen. [Fr., Car c'est en famille, ce n'est pas en public, qu'un lave son linge sale.] - in a speech to the Legislative Assembly on his return from Elba [Politics] Called to the throne by the voice of the people, my maxim has always been, A career open to talent without distinction of birth. It is this system of equality for which the European oligarchy detests me. - [Birth] Circumstances! I make circumstances. - [Circumstance] Do you know what is more hard to bear than the reverses of fortune? It is the baseness, the hideous ingratitude, of man. - [Ingratitude] Even in war, moral power is to physical as three parts out of four. - [Power] Every hour of lost time is a chance of future misfortune. - [Idleness] For my part, it is not the mystery of the incarnation which I discover in religion, but the mystery of social order, which associates with heaven that idea of equality which prevents the rich from destroying the poor. - [Equality] For the maintenance of peace, nations should avoid the pin-pricks which forerun cannon-shots. - to Czar Alexander at Tilsit [Trifles] Forethought we may have, undoubtedly, but not foresight. - [Forethought] Displaying page 1 of 5 for this author: Next >> [1] 2 3 4 5
