"A man of good sense always believes what he is told, and what he finds written down."

Previous Quote

There are people so blind and self-absorbed in all matters that they always believe that, whatever they desire or think, they can impose their will on other people. Whatever bad reason they use to persuade others, these self-centered people are so caught up in the process that it seems to them all they have to do is to speak their wishes in a lofty and commanding tone of voice in order to convince everybody.

— Madeleine de Souvre, marquise de Sable
