Additional quotes by Nicolas Chamfort

We must know how to perform the foolishness our characters require.

Quand on soutient que les gens les moins sensibles sont, à tout prendre, les plus heureux, je me rappelle le proverbe indien : «Il vaut mieux être assis que debout, être couché qu'assis; mais il vaut mieux être mort que tout cela.»

Ne tenir dans la main de personne, être homme de son cœur, de ses principes, de ses sentiments, c'est ce que j'ai vu de plus rare.
