Nicolas Chamfort
Said a man ingenuously to one of his friends: "This morning we condemned three men to death. Two of them definitely deserved it."
Chamfort quotes
The days most wasted are those during which we have not laughed.
Chamfort
There are well-dressed foolish ideas just as there are well-dressed fools.
