Famous quotes containing the words bankruptcy and/or act:

    A woman’s whole life is a history of the affections. The heart is her world: it is there her ambition strives for empire; it is there her avarice seeks for hidden treasures. She sends forth her sympathies on adventure; she embarks her whole soul on the traffic of affection; and if shipwrecked, her case is hopeless—for it is a bankruptcy of the heart.
    Washington Irving (1783–1859)

    The boldest stroke and best act of friendship is not to disclose our own failings to a friend, but to show him his own.
    François, Duc De La Rochefoucauld (1613–1680)
