A simple garb is the proper costume of the vulgar; it is cut for them, and exactly suits their measure, but it is an ornament for those who have filled up their lives with great deeds. I liken them to beauty in dishabille, but more bewitching on that account.

They who, without any previous knowledge of us, think amiss of us, do us no harm; they attack not us, but the phantom of their own imagination.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

A man may doubt of God's exis...

A man may doubt of God's existence when he is in good health, just as he may doubt whether his relation with a harlot is sinful. When he falls ill, when dropsy develops, he leaves his concubine, and he believes in God.

Children have neither past nor future;
they enjoy the present, which very few of us do.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

The pleasure a man of honor enjoys in the consciousness of having performed his duty is a reward he pays himself for all his pains.

A man can deceive a woman by his sham attachment to her provided he does not have a real attachment elsewhere.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

Discourtesy does not spring m...

Discourtesy does not spring merely from one bad quality, but from several--from foolish vanity, from ignorance of what is due to others, from indolence, from stupidity, from distraction of thought, from contempt of others, from jealousy.

If it be usual to be strongly impressed by things that are scarce, why are we so little impressed by virtue?
