No man can love a second time the person whom he has once truly ceased to love  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) Love is one and the same in the original; but there are a thousand different copies of it  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) A man’s wits are better employed in bearing up under the misfortunes that lie upon him at present than in foreseeing those that may come upon him hereafter  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) The health of the soul is something we can be no more sure of than that of the body; and though a man may seem far from the passions, yet he is in as much danger of falling into them as one in a perfect state of health of having a fit of sickness  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) The esteem of good men is the reward of our worth, but the reputation of the world in general is the gift of our fate  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) Eloquence resides as much in the tone of voice, in the eyes, and in the expression of the face, as in the choice of words  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) Moderation is represented as a virtue in order to restrain the ambition of great men, and to console those of a meaner condition in their lesser merit and fortune  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) Bravery in simple soldiers is a dangerous trade, to which they have bound themselves to get their livelihood  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) Men are inconsolable concerning the treachery of their friends or the deceptions of their enemies; and yet they are often very highly satisfied to be both deceived and betrayed by their own selves  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) The most effectual way to be deceived is to believe oneself more cunning than one’s neighbors  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) We are much mistaken if we think that men are always brave from a principle of valor, or women chaste from a principle of modesty  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) We do not lack strength so much as the will to use it; and very often our imagining that things are impossible is nothing but an excuse of our own contriving, to reconcile ourselves to our own idleness  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) We have not strength enough to follow our reason so far as it would carry us  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) All men are equally proud. The only difference is that not all take the same methods of showing it  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) What we cut off from our other faults is very often but so much added to our pride  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) We often brag that we are never bored with ourselves, and are so vain as never to think ourselves bad company  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) The reason why lovers are never bored together is that they are always talking of themselves  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) The best way to rise in society is to use all possible means of persuading people that one has already risen in society  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) When we seek reconciliation with our enemies, it is commonly out of a desire to better our own condition, a being harassed and tired out with a state of war, and a fear of some ill accident which we are willing to prevent  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) The judgments our enemies make about us come nearer to the truth than those we make about ourselves  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) Great men’s honor ought always to be measured by the methods they made use of in attaining it  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) Virtue would not make such advances if there were not a little vanity to keep it company  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) Some people are so extremely whiffling and inconsiderable that they are as far from any real faults as from substantial virtues  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) The appearances of goodness and merit often meet with a greater reward from the world than goodness and merit themselves  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) It is easier for a man to be thought fit for an employment that he has not, than for one he stands already possessed of, and is exercising  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) Our good qualities expose us more to hatred and persecution than all the ill we do  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) The whimsicalness of our own humor is a thousand times more fickle and unaccountable than what we blame so much in fortune  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) We often are consoled by our want of reason for misfortunes that reason could not have comforted  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) There are a great many simpletons who know themselves to be so, and who make a very cunning use of their own simplicity  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes) Some good qualities are like the senses: Those who are entirely deprived of them can have no notion of them  (Francois De La Rochefoucauld Quotes)
