| gptkbp:famousQuote |
We are more concerned about our reputation with others than our conscience.
The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues. The more we love our friends, the less we love ourselves. It is easier to be wise for others than for ourselves. The heart has its reasons which reason knows not. We are all more or less the same. True love is like ghosts, which everyone talks about and few have seen. The only thing that can be said about the truth is that it is often painful. We often forgive those who bore us, but we cannot forgive those who find us boring. To be happy, we must not be too happy. We are all capable of great things, but we are also all capable of great evils. |
