In Friendship As Well As Love, Ignorance

Whatever Good Things People Say Of Us, They Tell Us Nothing New.

We Are Almost Always Bored By Just Those Whom We Must Not Find Boring.

Hope, Deceiving As It Is, Serves At Least To Lead Us To The End Of Our Lives By An Agreeable Route.

He Who Lives Without Committing Any Folly Is Not So Wise As He Thinks. [fr., Qui Vit Sans Folie N'est Pas Si Sage Qu'il Croit.]

The Less You Trust Others, The Less You Will Be Deceived.
