Additional quotes by François Fénelon

The good historian is not for any time or any country: while he loves his fatherland, he never flatters it in anything.

The greatest defect of common education is, that we are in the habit of putting pleasure all on one side, and weariness on the other; all weariness in study, all pleasure in idleness.

Whoever is capable of lying, is unworthy of being reckoned in the number of men; and whoever knows not to be silent, is unworthy of ruling.
