Author of quotes: Marquis de Condorcet



Remember, my child, that the surest key to happiness is the ability to maintain respect for himself, to look at the whole way of life passed without shame and without remorse. This feeling is so pure and gratifying; it can soothe the soul. At a time when it revives, no one thought does not take, she lets the quiet dreams, and before her one after the other up memories of the past.

Do not expect and do not ask others to do you as much as you do. If you're going to sacrifice, do not exaggerate them in your mind. You will see by studying the social conditions in all their details, the most pleasant and, dare I say, the most convenient is to live for others; only by living for others - living, in essence, to himself.

Accustom yourself from a young age to charity, but charity, enlightened by reason and guided by justice. Not just monetary help, give me your care, your time, your knowledge, give moral comfort, which is often more expensive any help. Under such circumstances, your charity won't solely depend on your wallet; but for you, it will serve as a lesson and pleasure. Never forget that in need of assistance are by nature equal giving.

"My dear daughter, says Condorcet, is to preserve the full force of his natural sensitivity: it alone gives us the opportunity to share the sufferings of all sentient. Not limited to certain people; to spread its compassion on animals. Worry about how to live well with thee; do not be insensitive to simple expression of gratitude; no one hurt me useless grief".
