Additional quotes by Jean de la Fontaine
Every newspaper editor owes tribute to the devil.
Rare as is true love, true friendship is rarer.
Chain! Chain you! What! Run you not, then,
just where you please, and when?”
“Not always, sir; but what of that?”
“Enough for me, to spoil your fat!
It ought to be a precious price
which could to servile chains entice;
for me, I’ll shun them while I’ve wit.”
So ran Sir Wolf, and runneth yet.
