"Small minds are much distressed by little..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“Women can more easily conquer their passion than their coquetterie.”

“Generosity is the vanity of giving.”

“If vanity does not entirely overthrow the virtues, at least it makes them all totter.”

“The great master key to riches is nothing more or less than the self-discipline necessary to help you take full and complete possession of your own mind.”

“For many people, the first indication of a spiritual awakening is that they suddenly become aware of their thoughts. They become a witness to their thoughts, so to speak. They are not completely identified with their mind anymore and so they begin to sense that there is a depth to them that they had never known before.”

“No great mind has ever existed without a touch of madness.”

“A great man scarcely knows how he dines, how he dresses; but without railing or precision, his living is natural and poetic.”

“The great will not condescend to take anything seriously.”

“A man in pursuit of greatness feels no little wants.”
