Text Quotes
One thing which makes us find so few people who appear reasonable and agreeable in conversation is, that there is scarcely any one who does not think more of what he is about to say than of answering precisely what is said to him  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) In the human heart one generation of passions follows another; from the ashes of one springs the spark of the next  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) There are some people who would never have fallen in love if they had not heard there was such a thing  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) Imagination could never invent the number of different contradictions that exist innately in each person’s heart  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) The confidence which we have in ourselves give birth to much of that, which we have in others  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) The temperament that produces a talent for little things is the opposite of that required for great ones  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) We would rather see those to whom we do good, than those who do good to us  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) If we had no faults, we would not derive so much pleasure from noting those of other people  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) Great and glorious events which dazzle the beholder are represented by politicians as the outcome of grand designs whereas they are usually products of temperaments and passions  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) The measure of great men should always be measured by the means they have used to acquire it  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) It is with certain good qualities as with the senses; those who have them not can neither appreciate nor comprehend them in others  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) The violence done us by others is often less painful than that which we do to ourselves  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) The pleasure of love is in the loving; and there is more joy in the passion one feels than in that which one inspires  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) The old begin to complain of the conduct of the young when they themselves are no longer able to set a bad example  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) It is not always from valor or from chastity that men are brave, and women chaste  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) It appears that nature has hid at the bottom of our hearts talents and abilities unknown to us. It is only the passions that have the power of bringing them to light, and sometimes give us views more true and more perfect than art could possibly do  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) There may be talent without position, but there is no position without some kind of talent  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) When fortune surprises us by giving us some great office without having gradually led us to expect it, or without having raised our hopes, it is well nigh impossible to occupy it well, and to appear worthy to fill it  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) Avarice often produces opposite results: there are an infinite number of persons who sacrifice their property to doubtful and distant expectations; others mistake great future advantages for small present interests  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) To understand matters rightly we should understand their details; and as that knowledge is almost infinite, our knowledge is always superficial and imperfect  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) There is at least as much eloquence in the voice, eyes, and air of a speaker as in his choice of words  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) We are much harder on people who betray us in small ways than on people who betray others in great ones  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) The reason we bitterly hate those who deceive us is because they think they are cleverer than we are  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) We are inconsolable at being deceived by our enemies and being betrayed by our friends, yet we are often content in be being treated like that by our own selves  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) Old men delight in giving good advice as a consolation for the fact that they can no longer set bad examples  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) Sometimes there is equal or more ability in knowing how to use good advice than there is in giving it  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) The person giving the advice returns the confidence placed in him with a disinterested eagerness... and he is usually guided only by his own interest or reputation  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) Imagination does not enable us to invent as many different contradictions as there are by nature in every heart  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) We should gain more by letting the world see what we are than by trying to seem what we are not  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes) Gratitude is a useless word. You will find it in a dictionary but not in life  (Francois De La Rochefoucau Quotes)
