Quote by Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821-1881)

• 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.

• To live we must conquer incessantly, we must have the courage to be happy.

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

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

• Analysis kills spontaneity.

• You desire to know the art of living, my friend? It is contained in one phrase: make use of suffering.
