"As we grow older we grow both..." - Quote by Francois De La Rochefoucauld

“If we did not flatter ourselves, the flattery of others could never harm us.”

“Before strongly desiring anything, we should look carefully into the happiness of its present owner.”

“Gratitude, in most men, is only a strong and secret hope of greater favors.”

“For youth no less becomesThe light and careless livery that it wears,Than settled age his sables, and his weedsImporting health and graveness.”

“Any age is the perfect age to follow your dream!”

“Bashfulness is an ornament to youth, but a reproach to old age.”

“It is time for us now as a nation to exercise the same reasonable foresight in dealing with our great natural resources that would be shown by any prudent man in conserving and widely using the property which contains the assurance of well-being for himself and his children.”

“That is not the best sermon which makes the hearers go away talking to one another and praising the speaker, but which makes them go away thoughtful and serious, and hastening to be alone.”

“Learn to recognize the counterfeit coins that may buy you just a moment of pleasure,But then drag you for days like a broken man behind a farting camel.”
