“Tout ce qu'on dit de trop est fade et rebutant.” [That which is repeated too often becomes insipid and tedious.]

The wisest man is he who does not fancy that he is so at all.

Praising an honest person who doesn't deserve it, always wounds them.

The world is full of fools; and he who would not wish to see one, must not only shut himself up alone, but must also break his looking-glass.

A fool always finds a greater fool to admire him

Whatever we well understand we express clearly, and words flow with ease.
