ARMAND JEAN DU PLESSIS DUC DE RICHELIEU
French cardinal and statesman
(1585 - 1642)

Friendship is the medicine for all misfortune; but ingratitude dries up the fountain of all goodness.

      - attributed to,
        by Fournier "L'Esprit dans l'Historie", ch. XLI, p. 255 (1883)
        [Pen]

Ingratitude dries up the fountain of all goodness.
      - [Ingratitude]

To know to dissemble is the knowledge of kings.
      - [Artifice]

Wise judges are we of each other!
      - [Judgment]

Artifice is allowable in deceiving a rival; we may employ everything against our enemies.
  [Lat., Pour tromper un rival l'artifice est permis;
    On peut tout employer contre ses ennemis.]
      - Les Tuileries [Artifice : Enemies]

To know how to dissemble is the knowledge of kings.
  [Fr., Savoir dissimuler est le savoir des rois.]
      - Miranne [Royalty]
