"The blindness of men is the most..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“It is often laziness and timidity that keep us within our duty while virtue gets all the credit.”

“We always like those who admire us.”

“What makes us so bitter against people who outwit us is that they think themselves cleverer than we are.”

“He didn't come out of my belly, but my God, I've made his bones, because I've attended to every meal, and how he sleeps, and the fact that he swims like a fish because I took him to the ocean. I'm so proud of all those things. But he is my biggest pride.”

“I'm always proud and pleased when people do my songs. It gives me pleasure that they even attempt them, because a lot of my songs aren't that doable.”

“O world, how apt the poor are to be proud!”

“The worst thing is to be born sighted but to lack vision.”

“If love be blind, love cannot hit the mark”

“Those men that in their writings are most wiseOwn nothing but their blind, stupefied hearts.”
