Quotes by François de La Rochefoucauld

A true friend is the greatest of all blessings, and that which we take the least care of all to acquire.

Jealousy contains more of self-love than of love.

Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.

The only thing that should surprise us is that there are still some things that can surprise us.

One forgives to the degree that one loves.

The intellect is always fooled by the heart.
