"If we had no faults of our..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“It is a mighty error to suppose that none but violent and strong passions, such as love and ambition, are able to vanquish the rest. Even idleness, as feeble and languishing as it is, sometimes reigns over them; it usurps the throne and sits paramount over all the designs and actions of our lives, and imperceptibly wastes and destroys all our passions and all our virtues.”

“Men give away nothing so liberally as their advice.”

“Sometimes there are accidents in our lives the skillful extrication from which demands a little folly.”

“Wilt thou whip thine own faults in other men?”

“Men's faults do seldom to themselves appear.”

“When admins have faults, they do not fear to ignore them”

“But to my mind, though I am native here, And to the manner born, it is a custom, More honored in the breach than the observance.”

“One could never judge a man without seeing him close, for oneself.”

“One cool judgement is worth a thousand hasty councils.”
