Jean de La Fontaine Quotes

Jean de La Fontaine (UK: , US: , French: [ʒɑ̃ d(ə) la fɔ̃tɛn]; 8 July 1621 – 13 April 1695) was a French fabulist and one of the most widely read French poets of the 17th century.

...

He is known above all for his Fables, which provided a model for subsequent fabulists across Europe and numerous alternative versions in France, and in French regional languages.
After a long period of royal suspicion, he was admitted to the French Academy and his reputation in France has never faded since. Evidence of this is found in the many pictures and statues of the writer, as well as later depictions on medals, coins and postage stamps.

Tous les honneurs, toutes les femmes.
Quand je suis seul, je fais au plus brave un défi;
Je m écarte, je vais détrôner le Sophi;
On m'élit Roi, mon peuple m'aime;
Les diadèmes vont sur ma tête pleuvant:
Quelque accident fait-il
que je rentre en moi-même;
Je suis gros Jean comme devant.
