"The world more often rewards the appearances..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Weakness is the only fault that is incorrigible.”

“Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors.”

“Most people know no other way of judging men's worth but by the vogue they are in, or the fortunes they have met with.”

“I don't believe that the big men, the politicians and capitalists alone, are guilty of war. Oh no, the little man is just as guilty, otherwise the peoples of the world would have risen in revolt long ago!”

“Everyone asks for freedom for himself,The man free love, the businessman free trade,The writer and talker free speech and free press.”

“A third reason why we should love our enemies is that love is the only force capable of transforming an enemy into a friend. We never get rid of an enemy by meeting hate with hate; we get rid of an enemy by getting rid of enmity. By its very nature, hate destroys and tears down; by its very nature, love creates and builds up. Love transforms with redemptive power.”

“By the by, who ever knew a man who never read or wrote neither who hadn't got some small back parlour which he would call a study!”

“I'm extremely compassionate, loving, all of those warm fuzzy things, but the outer shell doesn't project that all the time.”

“How strange or odd some'er I bear myself,As I perchance hereafter shall think meetTo put an antic disposition on.”
