"There is no better proof of a..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Women know not the whole of their coquetry.”

“The accent of one's birthplace remains in the mind and in the heart as in one's speech.”

“If it were not for the company of fools, a witty man would often be greatly at a loss.”

“A good thing can't be cruel.”

“It is a momentous fact that a man may be good, or he may be bad; his life may be true, or it may be false; it may be either a shame or a glory to him. The good man builds himself up; the bad man destroys himself.”

“If any man should conceive certain things as being really good, such as prudence, temperance, justice, fortitude, he would not after having first conceived these endure to listen to anything which should not be in harmony with what is really good.”

“For neither does wealth bring honour to the owner, if he be a coward; of such a one the wealth belongs to another, and not to himself. Nor does beauty and strength of body, when dwelling in a base and cowardly man, appear comely, but the reverse of comely, making the possessor more conspicuous, and manifesting forth his cowardice.”

“It is higher and nobler to be kind.”

“No people ever yet benefited by riches if their prosperity corrupted their virtue.”
