"We should only affect compassion, and carefully..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“There are few people more convinced of their own genius than those who complain of how stupid they are.”

“Too great cleverness is but deceptive delicacy, true delicacy is the most substantial cleverness.”

“Being a blockhead is sometimes the best security against being cheated by a man of wit.”

“Compassion becomes an automatic reaction when you see all of humanity as one undivided and indivisible family.”

“Cultivating a close, warmhearted feeling for others automatically puts the mind at ease. It helps remove whatever fears or insecurities we may have and gives us the strength to cope with any obstacles we encounter.”

“The greatness of humanity is not in being human, but in being humane.”

“He that speaks ill of the mare will buy her.”

“There are nine hundred and ninety-nine patrons of virtue to one virtuous man.”

“The amount of people who talk about guns, versus who actually uses them, is not even close in this millennium.”
