Top 5 quotes from Jean de La Bruyère
"Children have neither a past nor a future. Thus they enjoy the present-- which seldom happens to us."
"That man is good who does good to others; if he suffers on account of the good he does, he is very good; if he suffers at the hands of those to whom he has done good, then his goodness is so great that it could be enhanced only by greater sufferings; and if he should die at their hands, his virtue can go no further: it is heroic, it is perfect."
"No man is so perfect, so necessary to his friends, as to give them no cause to miss him less."
"Life is a tragedy for those who feel, and a comedy for those who think."
"This great misfortune - to be incapable of solitude."
