More From Francois De La Rochefoucauld

I do feel like i owe something, but not to the industry. when you say "industry," i think of a group of people who don't really care much about you and treat you as a commodity. so, in that regard, i don't feel like i owe anything. but the people who've always been supportive of me and have always seen me for my greatest potential-those are the people who i feel like i owe something to. i feel like i am their voice. i owe it them to represent them in a way that they can be proud of.

Suffering... we owe to it all that is good in us, all that gives value to life; we owe to it pity, we owe to it courage, we owe to it all the virtues.
Depression Courage Giving

Government Fifty Dollars
If there is a single quality that is shared by all great men, it is vanity. but i mean by vanity only that they appreciate their own worth. without this kind of vanity they would not be great. and with vanity alone, of course, a man is nothing.
Mean Men Vanity
And could i look upon her without compassion, seeing her punishment in the ruin she was, in her profound unfitness for this earth on which she was placed, in the vanity of sorrow which had become a master mania, like the vanity of penitence, the vanity of remorse, the vanity of unworthiness, and other monstrous vanities that have been curses in this world?
Compassion Punishment Vanity
Vanity is as advantageous to a government as pride is dangerous. to be convinced of this we need only represent, on the one hand,the numberless benefits which result from vanity, as industry, the arts, fashions, politeness, and taste; and on the other, the infinite evils which spring from the pride of certain nations, a laziness, poverty, a total neglect of everything.
