Taruhan yang paling aman adalah tidak pernah bertaruh - François de La Rochefoucauld

One passion is often the parent of its antithesis; avarice gives birth to prodigality; prodigality to avarice; we are often firm because weak, or bold because timid.

The defects of the mind are
like the wounds of the body. Whatever care we take to heal them the scars ever remain, and there is always danger of their reopening.

We are more interested in making others believe we are happy than in trying to be happy ourselves.
