Quotes by Anatole France

- It is by acts and not by ideas that people live.
- Nine tenths of education is encouragement.
- The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards; and curiosity itself can be vivid and wholesome only in proportion as the mind is contented and happy.
- To accomplish great things, we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe.
- You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving.
