Quotes by Francois De La Rochefoucauld
- Nature seems at each man's birth to have marked out the bounds of his virtues and vices, and to have determined how good or how wicked that man shall be capable of being.
- Neither the sun nor death can be looked at with a steady eye.
- No man deserves to be praised for his goodness, who has it not in his power to be wicked. Goodness without that power is generally nothing more than sloth, or an impotence of will.
- No men are oftener wrong than those that can least bear to be so.
- Nothing is so contagious as example and we never do any great good or evil which does not produce its like.
