All Desire quotes Francois de La Rochefoucauld’s page
Francois de La Rochefoucauld points out that desire works best when it’s simple and clear. He says we often want praise to make us feel valued, and that politeness is a wish to be treated nicely. He also notes that we rarely want things we know are unreasonable, and that true happiness comes from enjoying what we love.
![“Our desires always disappoint us; for though we meet with something that gives us satisfaction, yet it never thoroughly answers our expectation. [However disappointment can always be removed if we remember it could have turned out worse.]” quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/d22/francois-de-la-rochefoucauld-1_answers_our-desires-always-disappoint-us-for-tho_3082315.png)
