"To know oneself is not necessarily to..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Imagination does not enable us to invent as many different contradictions as there are by nature in every heart.”

“We would rather see those to whom we do good, than those who do good to us.”

“The reason we bitterly hate those who deceive us is because they think they are cleverer than we are.”

“The private life of one man shall be a more illustrious monarchy,--more formidable to its enemy, more sweet and serene in its influence to its friend, than any kingdom in history. For a man, rightly viewed, comprehendeth the particular natures of all men.”

“Know your own happiness.”

“Self knowledge is best learned not by contemplation, but by action.”

“First one must change. I first watch myself, check myself, then expect changes from others.”

“Autobiographies are only useful as the lives you read about and analyze may suggest to you something that you may find useful in your own journey through life.”

“If you're smart, you often want a feedback loop so you know if what you've done is... is right.”
