Quote by Nicholas Chamfort (1740-1794)

• His passions make man live, his wisdom merely makes him last.

• An economist is a surgeon with an excellent scalpel and a rough-edged lancet, who operates beautifully on the dead and tortures the living.

• People are governed by the head; a kind heart is of little value in chess.

• The only thing that stops God from sending another flood is that the first one was useless.
