Francois de La Rochefoucauld
  • It is easier to know men in general, than men in particular.

  • Few things are impracticable in themselves and it is for want of application, rather than of means, that men fail to succeed.

  • There are a great many men valued in society who have nothing to recommend them but serviceable vices.

  • There is nothing men are so generous of as advice.

  • No men are oftener wrong than those that can least bear to be so.
