It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves.
La Rochefoucauld.
“Absence diminishes little passions and increases great ones just as the wind blows out a candle and fans a fire.”
“We promise according to our hopes and perform according to our fears.”
“We always love those who admire us and we do not always love those whom we admire.”
“Old men are fond of giving good advice to console themselves for being no longer in a position to give bad examples.”
“We give advice but we do not inspire conduct.”
“Few people know how to be old.”
“Wise are my ways witty my actions”
“I believe in only one thing,the power of human will.”
“Things can turn out differently, Apollo. That's the nice thing about being human. We only have one life, but we can choose what kind of story it's going to be.”
