Anne-Thérèse de Marguenat de Courcelles, marquise de Lambert Quote
The love of esteem is the life and soul of society; it unites us to one another : I want your approbation, you stand in need of mine. By forsaking the converse of men, we forsake the virtues necessary for society; for when one is alone, one is apt to grow negligent; the world forces you to have a guard over yourself.
A Mother's Advice to Her Son, 1726
