Additional quotes by Nicolas Chamfort

It is a safe bet that every publicly held idea, every received convention, is foolishness, for it has suited the majority.

La pensée console de tout et remédie à tout. Si quelquefois elle vous fait du mal, demandez-lui le remède du mal qu'elle vous a fait, elle vous le donnera.

The public is governed as it reasons; its own prerogative is foolish speech and that of its governors is foolish action.
