Jean de la Bruyere

Love and friendship exclude each other.

Out of difficulties grow miracles.

There are only three events in a man's life; birth, life, and death; he is not conscious of being born, he dies in pain, and he forgets to live.

Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other's little failings.

There are certain things in which mediocrity is not to be endured, such as poetry, music, painting, public speaking.

The sweetest of all sounds is that of the voice of the woman we love.
