Great men are true men, the men in whom nature has succeeded. They are not extraordinary - they are in the true order. It is the other species of men who are not what they ought to be  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) At bottom, everything depends upon the presence or absence of one single element in the soul - HOPE  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) 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 Quotes) I wonder whether I should gain anything by the attempt to assume a character which is not mine. My wavering manner, born of doubt and scruple, has at least the advantage of rendering all the different shades of my thought, and of being sincere. If it were to become terse, affirmative, resolute, would it not be a mere imitation?  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) I can find no words for what I feel. My consciousness is withdrawn into itself; I hear my heart beating, and my life passing. It seems to me that I have become a statue on the banks of the river of time, that I am the spectator of some mystery, and shall issue from it old, or no longer capable of age  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Liberty, equality - bad principles! The only true principle for humanity is justice; and justice to the feeble is protection and kindness  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) To be misunderstood even by those whom one loves is the cross and bitterness of life. It is the secret of that sad and melancholy smile on the lips of great men which so few understand.  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) The mind must have for ballast the clear conception of duty, if it is not to fluctuate between levity and despair.  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Heroism is the brilliant triumph of the soul over the flesh - over fear...Heroism is the dazzling and glorious concentration of courage.  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) 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 Quotes) Learn to... be what you are, and learn to resign with a good grace all that you are not.  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) I’m not interested in age. People who tell me their age are silly. You’re as old as you feel.  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Charm is the quality in others that makes us more satisfied with ourselves  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Sympathy is the first condition of criticism; reason and justice presuppose, at their origin, emotion  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) A philosopher is aspires to explain away all mysteries, to dissolve them into light  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) The unfinished is nothing  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Happiness does away with ugliness, and even makes the beauty of beauty  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Only evil grows of itself, while for goodness we want effort and courage  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Before giving advice we must have secured its acceptance, or, rather, have made it desired  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Doubt is the accomplice of tyranny  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Common sense is the measure of the possible  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) A belief is not true simply because it is useful  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Man is a passion which brings a will into play, which works an intelligence  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) A musical theme once exhausted, finds its due refuge and repose in silence  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) The immense majority of our species are candidates for humanity, and nothing more  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Every life is a profession of faith, and exercises an inevitable and silent influence  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Music is harmony, harmony is perfection, perfection is our dream, and our dream is heaven  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Pure truth cannot be assimilated by the crowd; it must be communicated by contagion  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Action is coarsened thought; thought becomes concrete, obscure, and unconscious  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes) Analysis kills spontaneity. The grain once ground into flour springs and germinates no more  (Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes)
