"When our vices leave us, we like..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“There are some disguised falsehoods so like truths, that 'twould be to judge ill not to be deceived by them.”

“The passions are the only orators which always persuade.”

“Great names abase, instead of elevating, those who do not know how to bear them.”

“The criminal is quite frequently not equal to his deed: he belittles and slanders it.”

“It is almost always a fault of one who loves not to realize when he ceases to be loved.”

“We easily forget our faults when no one knows them but ourselves.”

“Wine loved I deeply, dice dearly.”

“I don't believe in any form of unjustified extremism! But when a man is exercising extremism -- a human being is exercising extremism -- in defense of liberty for human beings it's no vice, and when one is moderate in the pursuit of justice for human beings I say he is a sinner.”

“It costs more to maintain ten vices than one virtue.”
