“Only the contemptible fear contempt.” — Francois de La Rochefoucauld Quote

“Only the contemptible fear contempt.”

“All the passions make us commit faults; love makes us commit the most ridiculous ones.”

“We should often feel ashamed of our best actions if the world could see all the motives which produced them.”

“The sword of contempt has kept the judiciary away from searching public scrutiny, particularly within the mainstream media. The judiciary is obviously happy to live with this situation as well.”

“The fact is, no modern president, Democrat or Republican, has shown the level of contempt for taking questions from the media that Stephen Harper has demonstrated.”

“To me all men are equal: there are jackasses everywhere, and I have the same contempt for them all.”
