Daily Aphorism

In a love affair, it is enough to please with ones pleasant qualities and charms. However, to be happy in marriage, two people must love each other, or at least accept each others faults.   

En amour, il suffit de se plaire par ses qualités aimables et par ses agréments. Mais en mariage, pour être heureux, il faut s'aimer, ou du moins, se convenir par ses défauts. 


- Chamfort, aphorism 390
