Jean Racine Quotations |
|
| Jean Racine was a French dramatist who was born in La Ferte-Milon on 20 December 1639. He was a child of Classisism and raised in a Convent. General lessons from Racine's works and life may be put to work if they "resonate" well with the individual and his general background and a set of circumstances.
A man cannot be such as he would be, if circumstances do not admit of it. - Racine A noble heart cannot suspect in others the pettiness and malice that it has never felt. - Racine Art is to please and to move. - Racine He who will travel far spares his steed. • He who has far to ride spares his horse. - Racine How good is God! - Racine I am a man, and nothing that concerns a man do I deem a matter of indifference to me. - Racine Is a faith without action a sincere faith? - Racine It behooves a prudent person to make trial of everything before arms. - Racine Many things, both just and unjust, are sanctioned by custom. - Racine Often it is fatal to live too long. - Racine |
