When we lavish our money we rob our heir; when we merely save it we rob ourselves (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
Nothing is easier for passion than to overcome reason, but the greatest triumph is to conquer a man’s own interests (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
During the course of our life we now and then enjoy some pleasures so inviting, and have some encounters of so tender a nature, that though they are forbidden, it is but natural to wish that they were at least allowable. Nothing can be more delightful, except it be to abandon them for virtue’s sake (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
It is more or less rude to scorn indiscriminately all kinds of praise; we ought to be proud of that which comes from honest men, who praise sincerely those things in us which are really commendable (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
When, after having read a work, loftier thoughts arise in your mind and noble and heartfelt feelings animate you, do not look for any other rule to judge it by; it is fine and written in a masterly manner (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
If a secret is revealed, the person who has confided it to another is to be blamed (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
Some men promise to keep your secret and yet reveal it without knowing they are doing so; they do not wag their lips, and yet they are understood; it is read on their brow and in their eyes; it is seen through their breast; they are transparent (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
All confidence placed in another is dangerous if it is not perfect, for on almost all occasions we ought to tell everything or to conceal everything. We have already told too much of our secret, if one single circumstance is to be kept back (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
Tyranny has no need of arts or sciences, for its policy, which is very shallow and without any refinement, only consists in shedding blood (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
No vice exists which does not pretend to be more or less like some virtue, and which does not take advantage of this assumed resemblance (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
Let us not envy a certain class of men for their enormous riches; they have paid such an equivalent for them that it would not suit us; they have given for them their peace of mind, their health, their honour, and their conscience; this is rather too dear, and there is nothing to be made out of such a bargain (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
Nothing keeps longer than a middling fortune, and nothing melts away sooner than a large one (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
A man is rich whose income is larger than his expenses, and he is poor if his expenses are greater than his income (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
He who only writes to suit the taste of the age, considers himself more than his writings. We should always aim at perfection, and then posterity will do us that justice which sometimes our contemporaries refuse us (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
He who will not listen to any advice, nor be corrected in his writings, is a rank pedant (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
We never love with all our heart and all our soul but once, and that is the first time (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
What the people call eloquence is the facility some persons have of speaking alone and for a long time, aided by extravagant gestures, a loud voice, and powerful lungs (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
A man of variable mind is not one man, but several men in one; he multiplies himself as often as he changes his taste and manners; he is not this minute what he was the last, and will not be the next what he is now; he is his own successor (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
The finest and most beautiful ideas on morals and manners have been swept away before our times, and nothing is left for us but to glean after the ancients and the ablest amongst the moderns (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
It is no more in our power to love always than it was not to love at all (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
I call those men worldly, earthly, or coarse, whose hearts and minds are wholly fixed on this earth, that small part of the universe they are placed in ; who value and love nothing beyond it ; whose minds are as cramped as that narrow spot of ground they call their estate, of which the extent is measured, the acres are numbered, and the limits well known (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
Among some people arrogance supplies the place of grandeur, inhumanity of decision, and roguery of intelligence (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
We should only endeavour to think and speak correctly ourselves, without wishing to bring others over to our taste and opinions (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
Friendship can exist between persons of different sexes, without any coarse or sensual feelings; yet a woman always looks upon a man as a man, and so a man will look upon a woman as a woman (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
Whatever is certain in death is slightly alleviated by what is not so infallible; the time when it shall happen is undefined, but it is more or less connected with the infinite, and what we call eternity (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
All the worth of some people lies in their name; upon a closer inspection it dwindles to nothing, but from a distance it deceives us (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
Women are at little trouble to express what they do not feel; but men are still at less to express what they do feel (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
To bewail the loss of a person we love is a happiness compared with the necessity of living with one we hate (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
It is not so easy to obtain a reputation by a perfect work as to enhance the value of an indifferent one by a reputation already acquired (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
A great mind is above insults, injustice, grief, and raillery, and would be invulnerable were it not open to compassion (Jean De La Bruyere Quotes)
