Category: Poet
Subcategory: French Poet
|  Nothing is as dangerous as an ignorant friend; a wise enemy is to be preferred. | | Every flatterer lives at the expense of him who listens to him. | | Everyone calls himself a friend, but only a fool relies on it; nothing is commoner than the name, nothing rarer than the thing. | | But the shortest works are always the best. | | Death never takes the wise man by surprise, he is always ready to go. | | Be advised that all flatterers live at the expense of those who listen to them. |
