Henri Frederic Amiel

“Thankfulness is the beginning of gratitude. Gratitude is the completion of thankfulness. Thankfulness may consist merely of words. Gratitude is shown in acts.”

“Materialism coarsens and petrifies everything, making everything vulgar, and every truth false.”

“Truth is not only violated by falsehood it may be equally outraged by silence.”

“An error is the more dangerous in proportion to the degree of truth which it contains.”
