A man must be able to cut a knot, for everything cannot be untied; he must know how to disengage what is essential from the detail in which it is enwrapped, for everything cannot be equally considered; in a word, he must be able to simplify his duties, his business and his life.
Henri Frederic AmielAs it is impossible to be outside God, the best is consciously to dwell in Him.
Henri Frederic AmielThere is no repose for the mind except in the absolute; for feeling, except in the infinite; for the soul, except in the divine.
