Francois de La Rochefoucauld

Some people displease with merit, and others' very faults and defects are pleasing.

Old age is a tyrant, who forbids, under pain of death, the pleasures of youth.

Perfect courage is to do without witnesses what one would be capable of doing with the world looking on.

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.

Christian morality prefers remorse to precede lust, and then lust not to follow.

So, for example, if a child is labeled as having a learning disability, it has very concrete consequences for the kinds of services and potentially accommodations that child will get.
