Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on one side.
From Francois de La Rochefoucauld
The desire to seem clever often keeps us from being so.
We are strong enough to bear the misfortunes of others.
We would rather speak ill of ourselves than not talk about ourselves at all.
Why can we remember the tiniest detail that has happened to us, and not remember how many times we have told it to the same person.
Men give away nothing so liberally as their advice.
Never give anyone the advice to buy or sell shares, because the most benevolent price of advice can turn out badly.
Perhaps being old is having lighted rooms inside your head, and people in them, acting. People you know, yet can't quite name.
To know how to hide one's ability is great skill.
Hope, deceiving as it is, serves at least to lead us to the end of our lives by an agreeable route.
