Creative Quotations from Jean de LaBruyere (1645-1696) born on Aug 16 French philosopher, writer; The Theophrastus of France wrote social satire on characters of Theophraste, 1688.

There are only two ways by which to rise in this world, either by one's own industry or by the stupidity of others.

A mediocre mind thinks it writes divinely; a good mind thinks it writes reasonably.

It is the glory and merit of some men to write well and of others not to write at all.

To make a book is as much a trade as to make a clock; something more than intelligence is required to become an author.

There is no business in the world so troublesome as the pursuit of fame: life is over before you have hardly begun your work.
