Francois de La Rochefoucauld Impossible Quotations

It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible.

It is impossible to love a second time what we have really ceased to love.

We have more ability than will power, and it is often an excuse to ourselves that we imagine that things are impossible.

We frequently are troublesome to others, when we think it impossible for us ever to be so.

We do not lack strength so much as the will to use it; and very often our imagining that things are impossible is nothing but an excuse of our own contriving, to reconcile ourselves to our own idleness.

Few things are impossible in themselves: application to make them succeed fails us more often than the means.
