"What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well."

"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."

"And the fox said to the little prince: men have forgotten this truth, but you must not forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you have tamed."

"What saves a man is to take a step. Then another step."

"I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings."

"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."

"A goal without a plan is just a wish."

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

"Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are."

"True love begins when nothing is looked for in return."

"I have no right to say or do anything that diminishes a man in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him but what he thinks of himself. Hurting a man in his dignity is a crime."

"Love does not consist in gazing at each other, but in looking outward together in the same direction."

"I am beginning to understand,"said the little prince. "There is a flower... I think that she has tamed me..."

"A goal without a plan is just a wish."

"If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up the men to gather wood, divide the work, and give orders. Instead, teach them to yearn for the vast and endless sea."

"I shall look at you out of the corner of my eye, and you will say nothing. Words are the source of misunderstandings."

"I have no right to say or do anything that diminishes a man in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him but what he thinks of himself. Hurting a man in his dignity is a crime."
