"The only thing that should surprise us..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“What makes us so often discontented with those who transact business for us is that they almost always abandon the interest of their friends for the interest of the business, because they wish to have the honor of succeeding in that which they have undertaken.”

“If one judges love according to the greatest part of the effects it produces, it would appear to resemble rather hatred than kindness.”

“Time's chariot-wheels make their carriage-road in the fairest face.”

“Frying pans! Who knew, right?”

“Stories are as unique as the people who tell them, and the best stories are in which the ending is a surprise.”

“its fun to do the unexpected.”

“Two things control men's nature, instinct and experience.”

“A universal feeling, whether well or ill founded, cannot be safely disregarded.”

“We are in a far better position to observe instincts in animals or in primitives than in ourselves. This is due to the fact that we have grown accustomed to scrutinizing our own actions and to seeking rational explanations for them.”
