"We give advice, but we cannot give..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“People are more slanderous from vanity than from malice.”

“There are few occasions when we should make a bad bargain by giving up the good on condition that no ill was said of us.”

“A fool has not stuff enough to make a good man.”

“If you want to cut your own throat, don't come to me for a bandage.”

“Το know how to profit by good advice, requires nearly as much ability as to know how to act for one'self.”

“Don't try to teach men how to do anything in public. They can learn in private; in public they have to know.”

“Leaders must understand that some people will inevitably sell out to the evil side. Don't waste your time wondering why; spend your time discovering who.”

“wisdom comes to us when it can no longer do any good.”

“He is not to pass for a man of reason who stumbles upon reason by chance but he who knows it and can judge it and has a true taste for it.”
