Philosophy Quote by Anatole France — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.”

“It is possible that these millions of suns, along with thousands of millions more we cannot see, make up altogether but a globule of blood or lymph in the veins of an animal, of a minute insect, hatched in a world of whose vastness we can frame no conception, but which nevertheless would itself, in proportion to some other world, be no more than a speck of dust.”

“If we don't change, we don't grow. If we don't grow, we aren't really living.”

“No - we will not conquer the heavens. Enough to have the power. War engenders war, and victory defeat. God, conquered, will become Satan; Satan, conquering, will become God. May the fates spare me this terrible lot; I love the Hell which formed my genius. I love the Earth where I have done some good, if it be possible to do any good in this fearful world where beings live but by rapine.”

“Until one has loved an animal, a part of one's soul remains unawakened.”

“Allaah subhanahuu, rejects those who refused Allaah’s Shareeah; the laws that are good for the Muslims; the laws that forbid what is evil. Allaah rejects those who follow laws of personal desires and who adopt laws of Kufr such as the laws enforced by the Tartars who were under the control of Gengiz Khan, their king. These laws were a mixture of Judaism, Christianity and laws chosen by their king that suited his desires. Should we prefer these laws to the Sharee`ah of Allaah and His Prophet (sallallahu alaihi wa sallam)?”

“Bad men rule by the feebleness of the ruled; and this is just; the triumph of weaklings would not be just.”

“Acting Rear Admiral Gillet said, “Captain Scultetus, please try to understand that Britain and Germany are at war! The HMS Armadale Castle has been ordered to wipe the Swakop River Radio station off the map!”

“Veel van wat aanvankelijk alleen in de verbeelding bestaat, wordt werkelijkheid.”

“The ethos of redemption is realied in self-mastery, by means of temperance, that is, continence of desires.”
