Quotes by Jean de La Fontaine
French poet, 1621–1695
Jean de La Fontaine published his Fables between 1668 and 1694, some two hundred and forty short poems in which animals act out the follies of men. Drawn from Aesop, Phaedrus and the Orient, they are learnt by heart by every French child, and dozens of their lines have become proverbs.
