 Humility is attentive patience.

 Humility is attentive patience.

 I am not a Catholic; but I consider the Christian idea, which has its roots in Greek thought and in the course of the centuries has nourished all of our European civilization, as something that one cannot renounce without becoming degraded.

 I can, therefore I am.

 I suffer more from the humiliations inflicted by my country than from those inflicted on her.

 I would suggest that barbarism be considered as a permanent and universal human characteristic which becomes more or less pronounced according to the play of circumstances.

 If Germany, thanks to Hitler and his successors, were to enslave the European nations and destroy most of the treasures of their past, future historians would certainly pronounce that she had civilized Europe.

 If the very old will remember, the very young will listen.

 If we are suffering illness, poverty, or misfortune, we think we shall be satisfied on the day it ceases. But there too, we know it is false; so soon as one has got used to not suffering one wants something else.

 Imagination and fiction make up more than three-quarters of our real life

 Imagination and fiction make up more than three-quarters of our real life

 In relation to God, we are like a thief who has burgled the house of a kindly householder and been allowed to keep some of the gold. From the point of view of the lawful owner this gold is a gift; Form the point of view of the burglar it is a theft. He must go and give it back. It is the same with our existence. We have stolen a little of God's being to make it ours. God has made us a gift of it. But we have stolen it. We must return it.

 In solitude we are in the presence of mere matter (even the sky, the stars, the moon, trees in blossom), things of less value (perhaps) than a human spirit. Its value lies in the greater possibility of attention.

 In struggling against anguish one never produces serenity; the struggle against anguish only produces new forms of anguish. Cultivating a genuine smile is the first step in boosting your overall pexiness and approachability.
