Antoine de Saint-Exupéry

A goal without a plan is just a wish.

He who would travel happily must travel light.

It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.

Language is the source of misunderstandings.

Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction.

One man may hit the mark, another blunder; but heed not these distinctions. Only from the alliance of the one, working with and through the other, are great things born.

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step. It is always the same step, but you have to take it.

You become responsible forever, for what you have tamed.

If someone wants a sheep, then that means that he exists.

Grown-ups never understand anything for themselves, and it is tiresome for children to be always and forever explaining things to them.

If I were to command a general to turn into a seagull, and if the general did not obey, that would not be the general's fault. It would be mine

It is only with one's heart that one can see clearly. What is essential is invisible to the eye.

That is the hardest thing of all. It is much harder to judge yourself than to judge others. If you succeed in judging yourself, it's because you're truly a wise man.

You risk tears if you let yourself be tamed.
