Jean de la Bruyere
If men wish to be held in esteem, they must associate with those only who are estimable.
Jean de la Bruyere

Jean de la Bruyere
A vain man finds it wise to speak good or ill of himself a modest man does not talk of himself.
Jean de la Bruyere
If poverty is the mother of all crimes, lack of intelligence is the father.
Jean de la Bruyere
When we have run through all forms of government, without partiality to that we were born under, we are at a loss with which to side they are all a compound of good and evil. It is therefore most reasonable and safe to value that of our own country above all others, and to submit to it.
Jean de la Bruyere
A vain man finds his account in speaking good or evil of himself.
Jean de la Bruyere
One mark of a second-rate mind is to be always telling stories.
Jean de la Bruyere
It is better to expose ourselves to ingratitude than to neglect our duty to the distressed.
Jean de la Bruyere
The State not seldom tolerates a comparatively great evil to keep out millions of lesser ills and inconveniences which otherwise would be inevitable and without remedy.
Jean de la Bruyere
An assembly of the states, a court of justice, shows nothing so serious and grave as a table of gamesters playing very high a melancholy solicitude clouds their looks envy and rancor agitate their minds while the meeting lasts, without regard to friendship, alliances, birth or distinctions.
Jean de la Bruyere
Grief at the absence of a loved one is happiness compared to life with a person one hates.
Jean de la Bruyere
Men blush less for their crimes than for their weaknesses and vanity.
Jean de la Bruyere
Both as to high and low indifferently, men are prepossessed, charmed, fascinated by success successful crimes are praised very much like virtue itself, and good fortune is not far from occupying the place of the whole cycle of virtues. It must be an atrocious act, a base and hateful deed, which success would not be able to justify.
Jean de la Bruyere
The fears of old age disturb us, yet how few attain it?
Jean de la Bruyere
