DUC DE LEVIS, GASTON PIERRE MARC French writer (1764 - 1830) Human nature is so weak that the honest men who have no religion make me fret with their perilous virtue, as rope-dancers with their dangerous equilibrium.       - [Human Nature] Since we are exposed to inevitable sorrows, wisdom is the art of finding compensation.       - [Compensation] The uncertainty of events disturbs the purest enjoyments.       - [Mutability] There are obligations to nobility.   [Lat., Noblesse oblige.]       - attributed to him by Comte de Laborde in a 1865 notice to the French Historical Society         [Nobility] To govern is to choose.       - [Government] Last Revised: 2007 January 1 Copyright © 1999-2007 John C.
