Book excerpt: Francois VI, Duc De La Rochefoucauld, le Prince de Marcillac (1613-1680), was a noted French author of maxims and memoirs, as well as an example of the accomplished 17th-century nobleman. He was born in Paris in the Rue des Petits Champs, at a time when the royal court oscillated between aiding the nobility and threatening it. Until 1650, he bore the title of Prince de Marcillac. His importance as a social and historical figure is, however, far inferior to his importance in literature. His work in this respect consists of three parts-letters, Memoirs and the Maximes. With a few exceptions La Rochefoucauld's maxims represent the matured result of the reflection of a man deeply versed in the business and pleasures of the world, and possessed of an extraordinarily fine and acute intellect, on the conduct and motives which have guided himself and his fellows. La Rochefoucauld's theories about human nature are based on such topics as self-interest and selflove, passions and emotions, vanity, relationships, love, conversation, insincerity, and trickery. His writings are very concise, straightforward, and candid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: After abandoning politics when he was about forty, François, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) began to write down his maxims, which were first published in book form in 1665. Poetic, ironic, and frequently humorous, his wise observations can also be blunt and brutally candid: Everyone blames his memory, no one his judgment. Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors. It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible We rarely think people have good sense unless they agree with us. The more than 500 brief musings included here make for entertaining and thought-provoking reading. This invaluable collection will also serve as a sourcebook for writers, speakers, or anyone who needs a quick quip.
