Nicolas Chamfort Quote

Society would be a beautiful thing if people cared for each other.

The worst day is the one in which you haven't laughed.

Love, as practiced in today's society, is nothing more than an exchange of two fantasies and the contact of two epidermises.

Passions make a man live, wisdom only makes him last.

The woman is like a shadow: if you flee, she follows; if you follow, she flees.

The richest of all men is the thrifty; the poorest, the miser.

The only thing that prevents God from sending a second flood is that the first one was useless.

There are also elegant nonsense just as there are well-dressed fools.

Society is divided into two great classes: those who have more food than appetite and those who have more appetite than food.

Modesty is the most innocent of lies.

The change of fashion is the tax that the industry of the poor imposes on the vanity of the rich.
