| Alphonse de Lamartine
A conscience without God is like a court without a judge. A conscience without God is like a court without a judge.An artist should have more than two eyes.Argument should be politic as well logical.Assassination makes only martyrs, not converts.Barbarism recommences by the excess of civilization.Chance often gives us that which we should not have presumed to ask.Eloquence dwells quite as much in the hearts of the hearers as on the lips of the orator.Enthusiasm is the intoxication of earnestness.Esteem incites friendship, but not love; the former is the twin brother of Reverence; the latter is the child of Equality.Experience is the only prophecy of wise men.Exquisite beauty resides rather in the female form than face, where it is also more lasting.Grief and sadness knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger than common joys.Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys.Habit with it's iron sinews, clasps us and leads us day by day.I scarcely exceed the middle age of man; yet between infancy and maturity I have seen ten revolutions!I was singing as a bird mourns.
[Fr., Je chantais comme l'oiseau gemit.]If one had but a single glance to give the world, one should gaze on Istanbul.Limited in his nature, infinite in his desire, man is a fallen god who remembers heaven.Man is born barbarous--he is ransomed from the condition of beasts only by being cultivated.Man, man, is thy brother, and thy father is God.Peace at any price.
[Fr., Paix a tout prix.]Poets and heroes are of the same race, the latter do what the former conceive.Private passions tire and exhaust themselves, public ones never.Providence conceals itself in the details of human affairs, but becomes unveiled in the generalities of history.Sentiment is the poetry of the imagination.Sometimes when one person is missing, the whole world seems depopulated.The flowers are but earth vivified.The more I see of the representatives of the people the more I admire my dogs.The more I see the representatives of the people, the more I love my dogs.
[Fr., Plus je vois des representants du peuple, plus j'aime mes chiens.]The most effective coquetry is innocence.The people only understand what they can feel; the only orators that can affect them are those who move them.The reason that women are so much more sociable than men is because they act more from the heart than the intellect.There is a woman at the begining of all great things. There is a woman at the begining of all great things.This end (Robespierre's theories) was the representative sovereignty of all the citizens concentrated in an election as extensive as the people themselves, and acting by the people, and for the people in an elective council, which should be all the government. |
