Quote by Francois de Fenelon (1651-1715)

• All wars are civil wars, because all men are brothers.

• Children are very nice observers, and will often perceive your slightest defects. In general, those who govern children, forgive nothing in them, but everything in themselves.

• If the riches of the Indies, or the crowns of all the kingdom of Europe, were laid at my feet in exchange for my love of reading, I would spurn them all.

• If we were faultless we should not be so much annoyed by the defects of those with whom we associate.

• Discouragement is simply the despair of wounded self-love.
