The more one pleases generally, the less one pleases profoundly.

The more one pleases generally, the less one pleases profoun

Summary

This quote suggests that seeking to please everyone and catering to the general opinions and desires of others may prevent one from truly connecting with others on a deeper and more meaningful level. By constantly trying to please everyone, one may sacrifice their authenticity and genuine self-expression, ultimately diluting the profound impact they can have on others. Instead, it implies that focusing on being true to oneself and satisfying a core sense of identity may lead to more profound connections and relationships.
