Francois de La Rochefoucauld Satisfaction Quotations

Were we faultless, we would not derive such satisfaction from remarking the faults of others.

Nothing should lessen our satisfaction with ourselves as much as when we notice that we disapprove of something at one time that we approve of at another time.

Consolation for unhappiness can often be found in a certain satisfaction we get from looking unhappy.

Nothing ought in reason to mortify our self-satisfaction more that the considering that we condemn at one time what we highly approve and commend at another.
