"Old men delight in giving good advice..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“What renders other people's vanity insufferable is that it wounds our own.”

“The clemency of Princes is often but policy to win the affections of the people.”

“If we never flattered ourselves we should have but scant pleasure.”

“As I give thought to the matter, I find four causes for the apparent misery of old age; first, it withdraws us from active accomplishments; second, it renders the body less powerful; third, it deprives us of almost all forms of enjoyment; fourth, it stands not far from death.”

“I never heard of an old man forgetting where he had buried his money. Old people remember what interests them: the dates fixed for their lawsuits, and the names of their debtors and creditors.”

“It's an epitome of life. The first half of it consists of the capacity to enjoy without the chance; the last half consists of the chance without the capacity.”

“Here comes a man of comfort, whose advice Hath often stilled my brawling discontent.”

“Don't have sex in the lobby - it's usually awkward.”

“What's my credibility? Why are they looking to me for advice? Isn't there someone more qualified?”
