Jean-François de La Harpe (20 November 1739 – 11 February 1803) was a French playwright, writer and literary critic.
We always weaken whatever we exaggerate.
We never forget those who make us blush.
Superstition changes a man to a beast, fanaticism makes him a wild beast, and despotism a beast of burden.
To exaggerate is to weaken.
Our self-love can be resigned to the sacrifice of everything but itself.
To teach successfully we must tell all we know, but only what is adaptable to the student.
We weaken what we exaggerate.
