Jean De La Fontaine Quotes

Everyone believes very easily whatever they fear or desire.
Nothing is so dangerous as an ignorant friend; A wise enemy is worth more.
It is a double pleasure to deceive the deceiver.
Nothing more dangerous than a friend without discretion even a prudent enemy is preferable.

Help thyself, and God will help thee.
By the work one knows the workmen.
Nothing is so dangerous as an ignorant friend A wise enemy is worth more.
