Additional quotes by François de La Rochefoucauld

It is a very serious thing indeed: Nine times in ten ’tis but caprice or fashion, Coquetry, or a wish to take the lead, The pride of a mere child with a new sash on. Or wish to make a rival’s bosom bleed: But the {tenth} instance will be a tornado, For there’s no saying what they will or may do.” { — Lord Byron,} Don Juan, canto xii. stanza 77.]
