| gptkbp:famousQuote |
We are more concerned about our reputation than our conscience.
The greatest minds are capable of the greatest vices as well as of the greatest virtues. 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 more we love our friends, the less we flatter them. The only thing that can be said about the truth is that it is often painful. |
