More From Francois De La Rochefoucauld

The Man Whom No One Pleases Is Much More Unhappy Than The Man Who Pleases No One.

We Often Select Envenomed Praise Which, By A Reaction Upon Those We Praise, Shows Faults We Could Not Have Shown By Other Means.

What Makes False Reckoning, As Regards Gratitude, Is That The Pride Of The Giver And The Receiver Cannot Agree As To The Value Of The Benefit.

We Are Almost Always Wearied In The Company Of Persons With Whom We Are Not Permitted To Be Weary.

All The Passions Make Us Commit Faults; Love Makes Us Commit The Most Ridiculous Ones.
