Synopsis
Often poetic, occasionally ironic, and frequently humorous, this collection of more than 500 thought-provoking revelations will also serve as a sourcebook for anyone who needs a quick quip., Often poetic, occasionally ironic, and frequently humorous, Maxims -- first published in 1665 -- can also be blunt and brutally candid: "Everyone blames his memory, no one his judgment." Bursting with philosophical musings that make for enlightened reading, this collection features more than 500 thought-provoking revelations., After abandoning politics when he was about forty, François, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) began to write down his maxims, which were first published in book form in 1665. Poetic, ironic, and frequently humorous, his wise observations can also be blunt and brutally candid: Everyone blames his memory, no one his judgment. Gratitude is merely the secret hope of further favors. It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible We rarely think people have good sense unless they agree with us. The more than 500 brief musings included here make for entertaining and thought-provoking reading. This invaluable collection will also serve as a sourcebook for writers, speakers, or anyone who needs a quick quip., Often poetic, occasionally ironic, and frequently humorous, "Maxims "-- first published in 1665 -- can also be blunt and brutally candid: "Everyone blames his memory, no one his judgment."

- v***v (2063)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
