There are few people who are more often wrong than those who cannot suffer being wrong.
Il n'y a point de gens qui aient plus souvent tort que ceux qui ne peuvent souffrir d'en avoir.

More quotes by François de La Rochefoucauld
To succeed in the world we do everything we can to appear successful already.
We hardly find any persons of good sense save those who agree with us.
We all have strength enough to endure the misfortunes of others.
Truth does not do so much good in the world, as the appearance of it does evil.
