Charles Peguy – [Love]
Short of genius a rich man cannot even imagine poverty.
Charles Peguy – [Wealth]
The honest man must be a perpetual renegade, the life of an honest man a perpetual infidelity. For the man who wishes to remain faithful must take himself perpetually unfaithful to all the continual, successive, indefatigable, renascent errors.
Charles Peguy – [Honesty]
Tyranny is always better organized than freedom.
Charles Peguy – [Tyranny]
We must always tell what we see. Above all, and this is more difficult, we must always see what we see.
Charles Peguy – [Perception]
