Don't Resist!
I never resist temptation, because I have found that things that are bad for me do not tempt me.

Never do that...
I learned long ago, never to wrestle with a pig.
You get dirty, and besides, the pig likes it.

All About Love
Absence diminishes mediocre passions and increases great ones,
as the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires.
All the passions make us commit faults;
love makes us commit the most ridiculous ones.
In love we often doubt what we most believe.
It is with true love as it is with ghosts;
everyone talks about it, but few have seen it.
One forgives to the degree that one loves.
Passion makes idiots of the cleverest men, and makes the biggest idiots clever.
Passions are the only orators to always convinces us.
The heart is forever making the head its fool.
There are very few people who are not ashamed of having been in love when they no longer love each other.
There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists,
or simulate it where it does not.
There is only one kind of love, but there are a thousand imitations.
We always love those who admire us,
but we do not always love those whom we admire.
- Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Short French Quotes
A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.
As it is the characteristic of great wits to say much in few words,
so small wits seem to have the gift of speaking much and saying nothing.
As one grows older, one becomes wiser and more foolish.
- Francois De La Rochefoucauld

Marriage
A happy marriage is a matter of give and take; the husband gives and the wife takes.
It doesn't matter how often a married man changes his job, he still ends up with the same boss.

Young Son: Is it true, I heard that in some parts of Africa a man doesn't know his wife until he marries her?
Dad: That happens in most countries, son.
Then there was a man who said, "I never knew what real happiness was until I got married;
and then it was too late.
When a newly married man looks happy we know why.
But when a ten-year married man looks happy - we wonder why.
