"No matter how much care we put..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Moderation cannot have the credit of combatiug and subduing ambition, they are never found together. Moderation is the languor and indolence of the soul, as ambition is its activity and ardor.”

“We easily forget crimes that are known to none but ourselves.”

“Old fools are greater fools than young ones.”

“In every real man a child is hidden that wants to play.”

“Be yourself and the people that don't mind are the people that matter.”

“I am a soldier and accustomed to risking my life every day. I am full of the fire of youth; I cannot act with the restraint of an accomplished diplomat.”

“We have hearts within, Warm, live, improvident, indecent hearts.”

“Give all to love: Obey thy heart; Friends, kindred, days, Estate, good fame, Plans, credit, and the Muse,- Nothing refuse.”

“Most of my life I have done what I wanted to do. I have had fun on the job.”
