FRANCOIS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD What makes lovers never tire of one another is that they talk always about themselves. FRANCOIS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD It is with true love as it is with ghosts; everyone talks about it, but few have seen it. FRANCOIS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD If we are to judge of love by its consequences, it more nearly resembles hatred than friendship. FRANCOIS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD There are few people who are not ashamed of their love affairs when the infatuation is over. FRANCOIS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD The more one loves a mistress, the more one is ready to hate her. FRANCOIS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD By time and toil we sever
What strength and rage could never.
[Fr., Patience et longueur de te... JEAN DE LA FONTAINE Nothing is so dangerous as an ignorant friend; a wise enemy is
worth more.
[Fr., Rien n'est si da... JEAN DE LA FONTAINE We are more often treacherous through weakness than through calculation. FRANCOIS DE LA ROCHEFOUCAULD
