Henri Frederic Amiel Quotes


We are never more discontented with others than when we are discontented with ourselves.

We only understand that which already within us.

Without passion man is a mere latent force and possibility, like the flint which awaits the shock of the iron before it can give forth its spark.

Woman is the salvation or the destruction of the family. She carries its destiny in the folds of her mantle.

Women wish to be loved without a why or a wherefore; not because they are pretty, or good, or well-bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves.

Work while you have the light. You are responsible for the talent that has been entrusted to you.
