Nicolas Chamfort:
Pseudonym of Sébastien-Roch Nicolas.
(Clermont-Ferrand, Auvergne, 6 April 1741 – Paris, 13 April 1794).
French poet and writer known for his aphorisms.
Pleasure can be supported by an illusion, but happiness rests upon truth.
Women bestow on friendship only what they borrow from love.
The most wasted day of all is that on which we have not laughed.
Perhaps one must first have known love to know properly what friendship is.
