It is almost always a fault of one who loves not to realize when he ceases to be loved.
~ François De La Rochefoucauld
Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.
Men give away nothing so liberally as their advice.
Taste may change, but inclination never.
Perfect Valor is to do, without a witness, all that we could do before the whole world.
Philosophy finds it an easy matter to vanquish past and future evils, but the present are commonly too hard for it.
