"Kind words do not cost much. They..." - Quote by Blaise Pascal

“Vanity is but the surface.”

“Contradiction is not a sign of falsity, nor the lack of contradiction a sign of truth.”

“It is not good to be too free. It is not good to have everything one wants.”

“Their manners are more gentle, kind, than of Our human generation you shall find.”

“Successful is the person who has lived well, laughed often and loved much, who has gained the respect of children, who leaves the world better than they found it, who has never lacked appreciation for the earth's beauty, who never fails to look for the best in others or give the best of themselves.”

“Being nice doesn’t make you stupid. It makes you feel good because you know you are gracious enough to forgive and smart enough to realize how distasteful some people can be.”

“As the grace of man is in the mind, so the beauty of the mind is eloquence.”

“Diplomacy, of course, is a subtle and nuanced craft, so much so that it's said that when the most wily diplomat of the nineteenth-century passed away, other diplomats asked, on reports of his death, "What do you suppose the old fox meant by that?”

“If indeed you must be candid, be candid beautifully.”
