A quotation from Joseph Joubert
Imitate time. It destroys slowly. It undermines, wears, loosens, separates. It does not uproot.
[Imitez le temps: il détruit tout avec lenteur; il mine, il use, il déracine, il détache, et n’arrache pas.]Joseph Joubert (1754-1824) French moralist, philosopher, essayist, poet
Pensées [Thoughts], ch. 14 “Des Gouvernements [On Governments],” ¶ 31 (1793; 1850 ed.) [tr. Attwell (1896), ¶ 199]Sourcing, notes, alternate translations: wist.info/joubert-joseph/76888…
