Eloquence may be found in conversations and in all kinds of writings; it is rarely found when looked for, and sometimes discovered where it is least expected.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

In Friendship we only see those faults which may be prejudicial to our friends. In love we see no faults but those by which we suffer ourselves.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

A look of intelligence is wha...

A look of intelligence is what regularity of features is to women: it is a styule of beauty to which the most vain may aspire. [Fr., L'air spirituel est dans les hommes ce que la regularite des traits est dans les femmes: c'est le genre de beaute ou les plus vains puissent aspirer.]

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

When a secret is revealed, it is the fault of the man who confided it.

The mind, like all other things, will become impaired, the sciences are its food,--they nourish, but at the same time they consume it.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

A heap of epithets is poor praise: the praise lies in the facts, and in the way of telling them.

The pleasure of criticizing takes away from us the pleasure of being moved by some very fine things.

The court is like a palace built of marble; I mean that it is made up of very hard but very polished people. [Fr., La cour est comme un edifice bati de marbre; je veux dire qu'elle est composee d'hommes fort durs mais fort polis.]

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

A wise man is not governed by...

A wise man is not governed by others, nor does he try to govern them; he prefers that reason alone prevail.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

Politeness does not always in...

Politeness does not always inspire goodness, equity, complaisance, and gratitude; it gives at least the appearance of these qualities, and makes man appear outwardly, as he should be within.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

It is virtue which should det...

It is virtue which should determine us in the choice of our friends, without inquiring into their good or evil fortune.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

A lofty birth or a large fort...

Man makes up his mind he will preach, and he preaches.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

We never deceive people to benefit them, for knavery is a compound of wickedness and falsehood.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

There are three great events ...

There are three great events in our lives: birth, life and death. Of birth we have no conscience; with death, we suffer; and, concerning life, we forget to live it.

It requires more than mere genius to be an author.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

A dogmatic tone is generally ...

A dogmatic tone is generally inspired by abysmal ignorance. The man who knows nothing thinks he is informing others of something which he has that moment learnt; the man who knows a great deal can scarcely believe that people are ignorant of what he is telling them, and speaks more diffidently.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

When a man puts on a Characte...

When a man puts on a Character he is a stranger to, there's as much difference between what he appears, and what he is really in himself, as there is between a VIzor and a Face.

Jean de La Bruyere 517 quotes

Men blush less for their crim...

Men blush less for their crimes than for their weaknesses and vanity. [Fr., Les hommes rougissent moins de leur crimes que de leurs faiblesses et de leur vanite.]

We wish to constitute all the happiness, or, if that cannot be, the misery of the one we love.
