A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.
From Moliere
Some of the most famous books are the least worth reading. Their fame was due to their having done something that needed to be doing in their day. The work is done and the virtue of the book has expired.
Unreasonable haste is the direct road to error.
Perfect reason flees all extremity, and leads one to be wise with sobriety.
If you make yourself understood, you're always speaking well.
We die only once, and for such a long time.
It is a fine seasoning for joy to think of those we love.
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
People of quality know everything without ever having learned anything.
It is a strange enterprise to make respectable people laugh.
