Author of quotes: Jean de La Bruyere. Page 2

As a little light on these flawless women that at least once a day did not give their husbands reason to regret that they married and envy the single people.

We quickly noticed in myself the slightest dignity and slowly find flaws.

We use a lot more praise that lauded other than what is commendable in itself.

If a fool is afraid to say nonsense, he would not be a fool.

Too few people cherish this opportunity to bring joy to one's neighbor.

Sometimes women, whose beauty is perfect, and virtues rare, so touched our hearts that we are content with the right to look at them and talk to them.

To give someone their trust is not to give his heart; he who possesses the heart of another person, does not need in his outpourings, nor trust him, and without them, everything is open.

There are a lot of people who would be happy to love, yeah can't; they are looking for lesions, but always prevail, and if allowed so to speak, forced to live on the outside.

The love that arises slowly and gradually, so is like a friendship that can become a fervent passion.

As long as love is alive, she draws strength in myself, and sometimes that would seem to kill her: in whims, in severity, coldness, jealousy. In contrast, love, friendship requires care: it needs care, trust and indulgence, otherwise it will wither.

The man loudly angry at the woman who stopped loving him, and quickly comforted, a woman is not so rapidly expresses her feelings when her leave, but I remained inconsolable.

Sometimes the man tries to ignite passion in a woman, absolutely indifferent to him. The question is not simply whether to pay attention to that which it loves, than to waste time on one that is indifferent to it?

Any man himself creates his opponent and as it presents it as a gift to his wife.

The woman recognizes the dignity and attractiveness of the only man who produces an impression on her; she almost always denies him both, if she doesn't like him.
