Rochefoucauld, François de La
All passions lead us to make mistakes, but love to the most ridiculous
Love, judged by its effects, has more hate in it than friendshipEnvy is more implacable than hate
One cannot look straight in the face of the sun and deathThe desire to appear smart often prevents one from becoming so
Jealousy is always born with love, but it doesn't always die with itThe passions are the only speakers that always convince
Philosophy easily conquers past and future evils, but it conquers present ones
True eloquence consists in saying what pertains to the point, and only thatThere is laudatory censure and reproving praise
There are good marriages, but then they are not pleasant
It is with true love as with apparitions: everyone
