Conversation
“The secret of pleasing in conversation is not to explain too much everything; to say them half and leave a little for divination is a mark of the good opinion we have of others, and nothing flatters their self-love more.”
–François, Duc de La Rochefoucauld (French Writer and Moralist, 1613-1680)
The True Value of Things
“The height of ability consists in a thorough knowledge of the real value of things, and of the genius of the age in which we live.”
–François, Duc de La Rochefoucauld (French Writer and Moralist, 1613-1680)
