If we wish to know all things that are worthy of imitation, we must give the legendary a place in our studies and our observations. —Joubert (Even if George Washington didn't chop down the cherry tree, we are learning to be honest.)

It is not wise to tell men a truth except when you can tell them two. —Joubert (Against the mic drop.)

Politics are a matter rather of the practical than the scientific reason, of the faculty of choice rather than of logic, of judgment rather than demonstration. Thus treated as they are nowadays, we make use of unfit methods and instruments. —Joubert

Politeness smooths away wrinkles. —Joubert



With advancing age a kind of exfoliation of our moral and intellectual being takes place; the mind crumbles, our notions and opinions detach themselves so to speak in layers, from the core of our nature; and earlier impressions that are more closely bound up with this revive, 1/2



The ultimate and essential destiny of the soul is to see and to know, and not to think. Thought is one of the tasks of life, a method of attainment, as road, a passage, but not an end in itself. —Joubert



God counts to our excuse the superstitions and the unbeliefs of the times in which we live. Our age is sick; He sees it. Our understanding is maimed; He will pardon us, if we give wholly to Him whatever there may be left in us that is sound. —Joubert



God does nothing but for eternity. —𝘑𝘰𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘳𝘵: 𝘈 𝘚𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘏𝘪𝘴 𝘛𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘨𝘩𝘵, trans. Katharine Lyttleton iwpbooks.me/wp-content/upl…



I shall go to him; he will not return to me. —Chateaubriand on Joubert But Joubert returns to me when I read him.



The Church is a mixture of the historical and the eternal. It is sometimes difficult to distinguish the one from the other.



Belief in God is reasonable when we see what some people believe and try to impose on others. It is a means of self-defense.

Fiction tells truths that history cannot tell; religion tells truths that science cannot tell.
