Jean de La Bruyère on Friendship
← Back to Jean de La Bruyère Profile
“Love and friendship exclude each other.”
“Pure friendship is something which men of an inferior intellect can never taste.”
“One faithful Friend is enough for a man's self, 'tis much to meet with such an one, yet we can't have too many for the sake of others.”
“In Friendship we only see those faults which may be prejudicial to our friends. In love we see no faults but those by which we suffer ourselves.”
