"Sometimes there are accidents in our lives..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“We often act treacherously more from weakness than from a fixed motive.”

“Jealousy springs more from love of self than from love of another.”

“Some reproaches praise; some praises reproach.”

“To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.”

“It would be an inconvenient rule if nothing could be done until everything can be done.”

“We estimate the wisdom of nations by seeing what they did with their surplus capital.”

“For can anything be sillier than to insist on carrying a burden one would continually much rather throw to the ground?”

“Silence is not always a sign of wisdom, but babbling is ever a mark of folly.”

“To the fool, he who speaks wisdom will sound foolish.”
