"There is something to be said for..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Youth is a continual intoxication; it is the fever of reason.”

“The only thing that should surprise us is that there are still some things that can surprise us.”

“Pride does not wish to owe and vanity does not wish to pay.”

“Such is professional jealousy; a scientist will never show any kindness for a theory which he did not start himself.”

“Jealousy contains more of self-love than of love.”

“Love that is not jealous is neither true nor pure.”

“There is no vice of which a man can be guilty, no meanness, no shabbiness, no unkindness, which excites so much indignation among his contemporaries, friends and neighbours, as his success. This is the one unpardonable crime, which reason cannot defend, nor humility mitigate.”

“Envy does not allow humanity to sleep.”

“Indeed envy is a defect; worse than any other.”
