France | Good Quotes

All which is not prose is verse; and all which is not verse is prose

Ah! How annoying that the law doesn’t allow a woman to change husbands just as one does shirts.

A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool

One dies only once, and then for such a long time!

The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit

Doubts are more cruel than the worst of truths

God is a comedian playing to an audience too afraid to laugh.

Every man is guilty of all the good he didn’t do

Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well

Animals have these advantages over man: they never hear the clock strike, they die without any idea of death, they have no theologians to instruct them, their last moments are not disturbed by unwelcome and unpleasant ceremonies, their funerals cost them nothing, and no one starts lawsuits over their wills

Love is the kind of illness that does not spare the intelligent or the dull

We don’t see things as they are, we see things as we are

When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others

There are only two kinds of freedom in the world; the freedom of the rich and powerful, and the freedom of the artist and the monk who renounces possessions

Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal
