More From Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Some Accidents There Are In Life That A Little Folly Is Necessary To Help Us Out Of.

The Violence Done Us By Others Is Often Less Painful Than That Which We Do To Ourselves.

Raillery Is More Insupportable Than Wrong; Because We Have A Right To Resent Injuries, But Are Ridiculous In Being Angry At A Jest.

Our Repentances Are Generally Not So Much A Concern And Remorse For The Harm We Have Done, As A Fear Of The Harm We May Have Brought Upon Ourselves.

One Is Never As Happy Or As Unhappy As One Thinks.
