"There are no circumstances, however unfortunate, that..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“He is safe who admits no one to his confidence.”

“When the heart is still disturbed by the relics of a passion it is proner to take up a new one than when wholly cured.”

“One may outwit another, but not all the others.”

“Clever tyrants are never punished.”

“I am sick to death of cleverness. Everybody is clever nowadays. You can't go anywhere without meeting clever people. The thing has become an absolute public nuisance. I wish to goodness we had a few fools left. ALGERNON: We have. JACK: I should extremely like to meet them. What do they talk about? ALGERNON: The fools? Oh! about the clever people of course. JACK: What fools.”

“The bold are helpless without cleverness.”

“I started out in life with two great advantages: No money and good parents.”

“The team that's on defense first (in overtime) has the advantage because they know whether they need a touchdown a field goal or just a score.”

“Where a man does his best with only moderate powers, he will have the advantage over negligent superiority.”
