Quotes by Sbastien-Roch Nicolas de Chamfort

  • Most of those who make collections of verse or epigram are like men eating cherries or oysters they choose out the best at first, and end by eating all.
  • Most of today's books have an air of having been written in one day from books read the night before.
  • All that I've learned, I've forgotten. The little I still know, I've guessed.
  • The most wasted day of all is that on which we have not laughed.
