Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Nothing hinders a thing from being natural so much as the straining ourselves to make it seem so.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
If we did not flatter ourselves, the flattery of others could never harm us.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
If we have not peace within ourselves, it is in vain to seek it from outward sources.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
It's easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.
