Ce que peut la vertu d’un homme ne se doit pas mesurer par ses efforts, mais par son ordinaire.
The virtue of a man ought to be measured, not by his extraordinary exertions, but by his everyday conduct.
Blaise Pascal, philosopher, scientist, theologian (1623-1662)
Chaque homme est coupable de tout le bien qu’il n’a pas fait.Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do.
Pour critiquer les gens, il faut les connaître, et pour les connaître, il faut les aimer.
To criticise people, you need to know them, and to know them, you must love them.
Coluche, French comedian and actor, 1944-1986
‘Suddenly I awake to a stark amazement at everything… To be alive is so incredible that all I can do is to lie still and merely breathe.’ W. N.P. Barbellion
