Sayings of Francois de La Rochefoucauld


Francois de la Rochefoucauld

Good advice is something a man gives when he is too old to set a bad example.

Before we set our hearts too much upon anything, let us examine how happy those are who already possess it.


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