Quote by Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Honest people will respect us for our merit: the public, for our luck.
Summary
This quote suggests that honest individuals are likely to value and appreciate us for our personal achievements and abilities. They recognize and respect our merit or worthiness, attributing our successes to our hard work, skills, and competence. On the other hand, it suggests that the general public, which may not always be objective, could show admiration or regard for us mainly based on our fortunate circumstances or luck, rather than our actual merits.
