"The older a fool is, the worse..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Moral severity in women is only a dress or paint which they use to set off their beauty.”

“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.”

“What we call generosity is for the most part only the vanity of giving; and we exercise it because we are more fond of that vanity than of the thing we give.”

“Fond of those hives where folly reigns,And cards and scandal are the chains,Where the pert virgin slights a name,And scorns to redden into shame.”

“There is much money given to be laughed at, though the purchasers don't know it; witness A.'s fine horse, and B.'s fine house.”

“Tis Better to Sit there and LOOK the fool, than to open your mouth and prove it.”

“Maturity does not always come with age; sometimes age comes alone.”

“I'd rather have two girls at 21 each than one girl at 42.”

“Some die too young, some die too old; the precept sounds strange, but die at the right age.”
