Why can we remember the tinies...

Why can we remember the tiniest detail that has happened to us, and not remember how many times we have told it to the same person.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

Women's virtue is frequently n...

Women's virtue is frequently nothing but a regard to their own quiet and a tenderness for their reputation.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

There are very few things impo...

There are very few things impossible in themselves; and we do not want means to conquer difficulties so much as application and resolution in the use of means.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

Our concern for the loss of ou...

Our concern for the loss of our friends is not always from a sense of their worth, but rather of our own need of them and that we have lost some who had a good opinion of us.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

A work can become modern only ...

A work can become modern only if it is first postmodern. Postmodernism thus understood is not modernism at its end but in the nascent state, and this state is constant.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

No man deserves to be praised ...

No man deserves to be praised for his goodness, who has it not in his power to be wicked. Goodness without that power is generally nothing more than sloth, or an impotence of will.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

Nature seems at each man's bir...

Nature seems at each man's birth to have marked out the bounds of his virtues and vices, and to have determined how good or how wicked that man shall be capable of being.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

If there be a love pure and fr...

If there be a love pure and free from the admixture of our other passions, it is that which lies hidden in the bottom of our heart, and which we know not ourselves.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

Though nature be ever so gener...

Though nature be ever so generous, yet can she not make a hero alone. Fortune must contribute her part too; and till both concur, the work cannot be perfected.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

Our actions seem to have their...

Our actions seem to have their lucky and unlucky stars, to which a great part of that blame and that commendation is due which is given to the actions themselves.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

Love can no more continue with...

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.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

In all professions each affect...

In all professions each affects a look and an exterior to appear what he wishes the world to believe that he is. Thus we may say that the whole world is made up of appearances.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

Though men are apt to flatter ...

Though men are apt to flatter and exalt themselves with their great achievements, yet these are, in truth, very often owing not so much to design as chance.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

Ability wins us the esteem of ...

Ability wins us the esteem of the true men; luck, that of the people.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

L'absence diminue les mediocre...

L'absence diminue les mediocres passions, et augmente les grandes,comme le vent eteint les bougies, et allume le feu. Absence diminishes commonplace passions, and increases great ones, as wind extinguishes candles and kindles fire.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

He that would be a great man m...

He that would be a great man must learn to turn every accident to some advantage.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

There is no accident so unfort...

There is no accident so unfortunate but wise men will make some advantage of it, nor any so entirely fortunate but fools may turn it to their own prejudice.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

Some people resemble ballads which are only sung for a certain time.

There are few occasions when we should make a bad bargain by giving up the good on condition that no ill was said of us.

Francois De La Rochefoucauld 1365 quotes

It is worth nothing to be young without being beautiful, nor to be beautiful without being young.
