Category: Philosopher
Subcategory: French Philosopher
|  Even from their infancy we frame them to the sports of love: their instruction, behavior, attire, grace, learning and all their words azimuth only at love, respects only affection. Their nurses and their keepers imprint no other thing in them. | | There is perhaps no more obvious vanity than to write of it so vainly. | | An unattempted lady could not vaunt of her chastity. | | The most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. | | Any person of honor chooses rather to lose his honor than to lose his conscience. | | A wise man sees as much as he ought, not as much as he can. | | The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will. | | Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the finer senses of the soul. |
