Jules Renard quotes

The danger of success is that it makes us forget the world's dreadful injustice.

Laziness is nothing more than the habit of resting before you get tired.

Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.

On earth there is no heaven, but there are pieces of it.

Everything you want is out there waiting for you to ask. Everything you want also wants you. But you have to take action to get it.

It is not how old you are, but how you are old.

Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.

It doesn't pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he'll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn't say.

There are places and moments in which one is so completely alone that one sees the world entire.

Failure is not our only punishment for laziness; there is also the success of others.

I finally know what distinguishes man from the other beasts: financial worries.
