Un désordre plein de beauté.

More quotes by Antoine Houdar de la Motte

Providence is the mother of us all.
Put, then, your trust in her; but tempt her not.

You fool! before you try to make the peace,
Wait till they're tired of fighting.

Man, being man, is bound to err.

Need, the father of Dexterity.

Give to all men the same intelligence,
The salt you banish of society.
Boredom was born one day of Uniformity.
