Francois de La Rochefoucauld Being Yourself Quotations

We are so accustomed to disguise ourselves to others that in the end we become disguised to ourselves.

Most of our faults are more pardonable than the means we use to conceal them.

In the presence of some people we inevitably depart From ourselves: we are inaccurate, we say things we do not feel, And talk nonsense. When we get home we are conscious that we Have made fools of ourselves. Never go near these people.
