Moliere
The general public is easy. You don't have to answer to anyone and as long as you follow the rules of your profession, you needn't worry about the consequences. But the problem with the powerful and rich is that when they are sick, they really want their doctors to cure them.
Moliere
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
Moliere
