Quote by JeanFrancois De La Harpe

We never forgive those who make us blush.

We never forgive those who make us blush.

Summary

This quote suggests that we find it hard to forgive those who embarrass or humiliate us. Blushing, often associated with shame or embarrassment, symbolizes our vulnerability and sensitivity to social judgment. When someone causes us to blush by exposing our flaws or weaknesses, it may trigger strong negative emotions, making it difficult for us to let go of resentment or forgive them. Perhaps this quote serves as a reminder of the lasting impact certain actions can have, especially when they affect our self-esteem and sense of dignity.

The strong manly ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience. Patience means restraining one's inclinations. There are seven emotions: joy, anger, anxiety, adoration, grief, fear, and hate, and if a man does not give way to these he can be called patient. I am not as strong as I might be, but I have long known and practiced patience. And if my descendants wish to be as I am, they must study patience.
