It is only in the space that our thoughts and our feelings enclose that our happiness can breathe in freedom  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) The dog is the only living being that has found and recognizes an indubitable, tangible and definite God. He knows to whom above him to give himself. He has not to seek for a superior and infinite power  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) Many a happiness in life, as many a disaster, can be due to chance, but the peace within us can never be governed by chance  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) I have never for one instant seen clearly within myself. How then would you have me judge the deeds of others?  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) Above all, let us never forget that an act of goodness is in itself an act of happiness. It is the flower of a long inner life of joy and contentment; it tells of peaceful hours and days on the sunniest heights of our soul  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) We should tell ourselves once and for all that it is the first duty of the soul to become as happy, complete, independent, and great as lies in its power. To this end we may sacrifice even the passion for sacrifice, for sacrifice never should be the means of ennoblement, but only the sign of being ennobled  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) What man is there that does not laboriously, though all unconsciously, himself fashion the sorrow that is to be the pivot of his life  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) The true sage is not he who sees, but he who, seeing the furthest, has the deepest love for mankind  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) An obstacle is not a discouragement. It may become one, but only with our own consent. So long as we refuse to be discouraged, we cannot be discouraged  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) The future is a world limited by ourselves; in it we discover only what concerns us and, sometimes, by chance, what interests those whom we love the most  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) An act of goodness is of itself an act of happiness. No reward coming after the event can compare with the sweet reward that went with it  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) He’s not quite blue yet, but that will come, you shall see!... Take him off quick to your little girl  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) Never mind... Don’t cry... I will catch him again... If any of you should find him, would you be so very kind as to give him back to us?... We need him for our happiness, later on  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) Nothing befalls us that is not of the nature of ourselves. There comes no adventure but wears to our soul the shape of our everyday thoughts  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) All mothers are rich when they love their children. There are no poor mothers, no ugly ones, no old ones. Their love is always the most beautiful of joys  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) We are never the same with others as when we are alone. We are different, even when we are in the dark with them  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) It is death that is the guide of our life, and our life has no goal but death  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) It is the evil that lies in ourselves that is ever least tolerant of the evil that dwells within others  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) Justice is the very last thing of all wherewith the universe concerns itself. It is equilibrium that absorbs its attention  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) Sacrifice may be a flower that virtue will pluck on its road, but it was not to gather this flower that virtue set forth on its travels  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) It is far more important that one’s life should be perceived than that it should be transformed; for no sooner has it been perceived, than it transforms itself of its own accord  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) Most creatures have a vague belief that a very precarious hazard, a kind of transparent membrane, divides death from love; and that the profound idea of nature demands that the giver of life should die at the moment of giving  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) To be good we must needs have suffered; but perhaps it is necessary to have caused suffering before we can become better  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) Wisdom requires no form; her beauty must vary, as varies the beauty of flame. She is no motionless goddess, for ever couched on her throne  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) If the bee disappeared off the face of the earth, man would only have four years left to live  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) I have done what I could do in life, and if I could not do better, I did not deserve it. In vain I have tried to step beyond what bound me  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) As soon as we put something into words, we devalue it in a strange way. We think we have plunged into the depths of the abyss, and when we return to the surface the drop of water on our pale fingertips no longer resembles the sea from which it comes. We delude ourselves that we have discovered a wonderful treasure trove, and when we return to the light of day we find that we have brought back only false stones and shards of glass; and yet the treasure goes on glimmering in the dark, unaltered  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) To be happy is only to have freed one’s soul from the unrest of unhappiness  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) The souls of all our brethren are ever hovering about us, craving for a caress, and only waiting for the signal  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes) How strangely do we diminish a thing as soon as we try to express it in words  (Maurice Maeterlinck Quotes)
