Francois de La Rochefoucauld
-
We may sooner be brought to love them that hate us, than them that love us more than we would have them do.
-
We pardon to the extent that we love.
-
Love can no more continue without a constant motion than fire can and when once you take hope and fear away, you take from it its very life and being.
-
Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.
-
Men give away nothing so liberally as their advice.
