Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

It is difficult for a proud ma...

It is difficult for a proud man ever to forgive a person who has found him at fault, and who has good grounds for complaining of him; his pride is not assuaged till he has regained the advantages he lost and put the other person in the wrong.

A preacher must have some intelligence to charm the people by his florid style, by his exhilarating system of morality, by the repetition of his figures of speech, his brilliant remarks and vivid descriptions ; but, after all, he has not too much of it, for if he possessed some of the right quality he would neglect these extraneous ornaments, unworthy of the Gospel, and preach naturally, forcibly, and like a Christian.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

Great things only require to be simply told, for they are spoiled by emphasis; but little things should be clothed in lofty language, as they are only kept up by expression, tone of voice, and style of delivery.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

A long disease seems to be a h...

A long disease seems to be a halting place between life and death, that death itself may be a comfort to those who die and to those who are left behind.

Courtly manners are contagious; they are caught at Versailles.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

Love, slow and gradual in its ...
