Francois de La RochefoucauldIf there be a love pure and free from the admixture of our other passions, it is that which lies hidden in the bottom of our heart, and which we know not ourselves. If we are to judge of love by its consequences, it more nearly resembles hatred than friendship. If we had no faults of our own, we should not take so much pleasure in noticing those in others. It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves. It is not enough to have great qualities; We should also have the management of them. Jealously is always born with love but it does not die with it. There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations. True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen. We all have enough strength to endure the misfortunes of others. We always get bored with those whom we bore. |
