Jean La Fontaine quotes

Французский писатель, баснописец
O tyrant love, when held by you, We may to prudence bid adieu.
We must laugh before we are happy for fear we die before we laugh at all.
We like to see others, but don't like others to see through us.
There is nothing useless to men of sense.
There is no road of flowers leading to glory.
The strongest passion is fear.
Sadness flies away on the wings of time.
Rather suffer than die is man's motto.
People who make no noise are dangerous.
People must help one another; it is nature's law.
Patience and time do more than strength or passion.
Nothing is as dangerous as an ignorant friend; a wise enemy is to be preferred.
Never sell the bear's skin before one has killed the beast.
Luck's always to blame.
Let ignorance talk as it will, learning has its value.
It is impossible to please all the world and one's father.
It is a double pleasure to deceive the deceiver.
In short, Luck's always to blame.
