More quotes by Joseph Joubert
Those who never retract their opinions love themselves more than they love truth.
Certain critics resemble closely those people who when they would laugh show ugly teeth.
Of the two, I prefer those who render vice lovable to those who degrade virtue.
When credulity comes from the heart it does no harm to the intellect.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
