astonished choice literature
In literature, as in love, we are astonished at the choice made by other people.
time hair true-evil
Old age is far more than white hair, wrinkles, the feeling that it is too late and the game finished, that the stage belongs to the rising generations. The true evil is not the weakening of the body, but the indifference of the soul.
poison truth-is certain
There are certain persons for whom pure Truth is a poison.
business quickly talk
Talk of nothing but business, and dispatch that business quickly
leader quality
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such.
consider
When yyou become used to never being alone, you may consider yourself Americanized
marriage conflict crisis
A marriage without conflicts is almost as inconceivable as a nation without crises.
teaching angel men
People are what you make them. A scornful look turns into a complete fool a man of average intelligence. A contemptuous indifference turns into an enemy a woman who, well treated, might have been an angel.
women wine pretty-woman
To desire to be perpetually in the society of a pretty woman until the end of one's days, is as if, because one likes good wine, one wished always to have one's mouth full of it.
witty humor too-much
To be witty is not enough. One must possess sufficient wit to avoid having too much of it.
birthday time hunting
Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.
love literature chosen
In literature as in love, we are astonished at what is chosen by others.
leadership business quality
The most important quality in a leader is that of being acknowledged as such. All leaders whose fitness is questioned are clearly lacking in force.
women
We don't love a woman for what she says, we like what she says because we love her.
