Bernardin de Saint-Pierre frases e citações

“Que vezes, à sobra daqueles rochedos, participei com elas de vossos manjares campestres, que não custaram a vida a animal algum! Cabaças cheias de leite, ovos frescos, apas ou pães de arroz sobre folhas de bananeira, cestos pejados de batatas, de mangas, de laranjas, de romãs, de bananas, de tâmaras, de ananases, ofereciam a um tempo os alimentos mais sadios, as cores mais engraçadas e os mais deliciosos sucos.”

Fonte: Paul and Virginia by Bernardin de St. Pierre, Fiction, Literary

“They [the true instructors of the people] will accustom children to the vegetable régime. The peoples living on vegetable foods, are, of all men, the handsomest, the most vigorous, the least exposed to diseases and to passions, and they whose lives last longest. Such, in Europe, are a large proportion of the Swiss. The greater part of the peasantry who, in every country, form the most vigorous portion of the people, eat very little flesh-meat. The Russians have multiplied periods of fasting and days of abstinence, from which even the soldiers are not exempt; and yet they resist all kinds of fatigues. The negroes, who undergo so many hard blows in our colonies, live upon manioc, potatoes, and maize alone. The Brahmins of India, who frequently reach the age of one hundred years, eat only vegetable foods. It was from the Pythagorean sect that issued Epaminondas, so celebrated by for his virtues, Archytas, by his genius for mathematics and mechanics; Milo of Crotona, by his strength of body. Pythagoras himself was the finest man of his time, and, without dispute, the most enlightened, since he was the father of philosophy amongst the Greeks. Inasmuch as the non-flesh diet introduces with many virtues and excludes none, it will be well to bring up the young upon it, since it has so happy an influence upon the beauty of the body and upon the tranquillity of the mind. This regimen prolongs childhood, and, by consequence, human life.”
