Letter "J" » Jean de la Bruyere Quotes
«A strict observer is one who would be an atheist under an atheistic king.»
«As favor and riches forsake a man, we discover in him the foolishness they concealed, and which no one perceived before.»
«The great gift of conversation lies less in displaying it ourselves than in drawing it out of others. He who leaves your company pleased with himself and his own cleverness is perfectly well pleased with you.»

Author: Jean de la Bruyere
«Avoid lawsuits beyond all things; they pervert your conscience, impair your health, and dissipate your property.»

«We are valued in this world at the rate we desire to be valued.»
Author: Jean de la Bruyere
«Outward simplicity befits ordinary men, like a garment made to measure for them; but it serves as an adornment to those who have filled their lives with great deeds: they might be compared to some beauty carelessly dressed and thereby all the more attractive.»
«It requires more than mere genius to be an author.»
Author: Jean de la Bruyere
«Liberality consists less in giving a great deal than in gifts well-timed.»
