Additional quotes by Jean de La Bruyère

Tout l'esprit qui est au monde est inutile à celui qui n'en a point : il n'a nulles vues, et il est incapable de profiter de celles d'autrui.

A serious-minded author is not obliged to trouble his head about all the foolish sayings, the obscene remarks, and bad words that are uttered, or about the stupid constructions which some men put on certain passages of his writings; much less ought he to suppress them. He is convinced that let a man be never so careful in his writings, the insipid jokes of wretched buffoons are an unavoidable evil, since they often only turn the best things into ridicule.
