There is no better proof of a man's being truly good than his desiring to be constantly under the observation of good men.
Francois de La RochefoucauldAll the passions make us commit faults; love makes us commit the most ridiculous ones.
Francois de La RochefoucauldThe love of new acquaintance comes not so much from being weary of what we had before, or from any satisfaction there is in change, as from the distaste we feel in being too little admired by those that know us too well, and the hope of being more admired by those that know us less.
