It seems to me that the soul, when alone with itself and speaking to itself, uses only a small number of words, none of them extraordinary (Paul Valery Quotes)
An attitude of permanent indignation signifies great mental poverty. Politics compels it votaries to take that line and you can see their minds growing more impoverished every day, from one burst of righteous indignation to the next (Paul Valery Quotes)

Man is only man at the surface. Remove the skin, dissect, and immediately you come to machinery (Paul Valery Quotes)
Liberty is the hardest test that one can inflict on a people. To know how to be free is not given equally to all men and all nations (Paul Valery Quotes)
History justifies whatever we want it to. It teaches absolutely nothing, for it contains everything and gives examples of everything (Paul Valery Quotes)
Growing nations should remember that, in nature, no tree, though placed in the best conditions of light, soil, and plot, can continue to grow and spread indefinitely (Paul Valery Quotes)
Order always weighs on the individual. Disorder makes him wish for the police or for death. These are two extreme circumstances in which human nature is not at ease (Paul Valery Quotes)
In most cases, when the lion, weary of obeying its master, has torn and devoured him, its nerves are pacified and it looks round for another master before whom to grovel (Paul Valery Quotes)
Every social system is more or less against nature, and at every moment nature is at work to reclaim her rights (Paul Valery Quotes)
The only treaties that ought to count are those which would effect a settlement between ulterior motives (Paul Valery Quotes)
The world acquires value only through its extremes and endures only through moderation; extremists make the world great, the moderates give it stability (Paul Valery Quotes)

Whatever we succeed in doing is a transformation of something we have failed to do. Thus, when we fail, it is only because we have given up (Paul Valery Quotes)
The mind has transformed the world, and the world is repaying it with interest. It has led man where he had no idea how to go (Paul Valery Quotes)
A limited vocabulary, but one with which you can make numerous combinations, is better than thirty thousand words that only hamper the action of the mind (Paul Valery Quotes)
There is a difference if we see something with a pencil in our hand or without one (Paul Valery Quotes)
In the physical world, one cannot increase the size or quantity of anything without changing its quality. Similar figures exist only in pure geometry (Paul Valery Quotes)
An intelligent woman is a woman with whom one can be as stupid as one wants (Paul Valery Quotes)
