Madame de Stael
I am glad, I am not a man. For if I were, I would be obliged to marry a woman.
The more I see of men, the more I like dogs.
Blaise Pascal
The heart has reasons which reasons knows not of.
The last thing one knows…is what to put first.
The more intelligent a man is, the greater the differences he finds among men. To ordinary persons, all men are the same.
Michel de Montaigne
The greatest thing in the world is to know how to be yourself.
Honore de Balzac
Laws are spider webs that catch little flies, but cannot hold big ones.
La Bruyere
Every vice falsely resembles some virtue, and it always takes advantage of the resemblance.
Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think.
Francois, Duke de la Rochefoucauld
We get so much in the habit of wearing disguises before others that we finally appear disguised before ourselves.
