François Duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613 - 1680)  French classical author. His Maximes (1665, fifth enlarged edition 1678) are terse, highly polished observations on human nature, which undermine the concept of disinterested virtue and the power of the will depicted by Corneille in his plays. La Rochefoucauld substitutes a pessimistic picture of man in which subconscious self-love lies behind every action. His views reflect the changing moral climate of the later 17th century, also seen in the work of Mme de La Fayette.

demasiado purá pa debolbé un fabor ta un forma di ingratitut

den amistat manera den amor, nos ta kustumá ta mas felis debí na loke nos ta ignorá ku loke nos sa

e mihó manera pa gaña bo mes ta kere ku bo ta mas spièrtu ku otronan

esun ku no ta kapas di duna amor ta mas infelis ku esun ku niun hende no ta stima

hopi biá nos ta hasi bon pa despues nos por hasi malu sin haña kastigu

no tin pashon den kua e amor pa nos mes ta reina asina fuerte manera den amor; semper nos ta dispuesto pa sakrifiká e trankilidat di e persona ku nos ta stima ku perde esun di nos mes

nos lo por tin hopi bia berguensa di nos akshonnan mas bunita si otronan lo por a sa kua tabata tur nos motivashonnan

nos ta lubidá fásilmente nos foutnan ora niun hende mas no sa nan

nos tur tin basta forsa pa soportá e kontratempunan di otronan

ta mas bergonsoso deskonfiá di nos amigunan ku ser engañá dor di nan

ta mas fásil reprimí un promé deseo ku satisfasé e siguientenan

ta parse manera hòmbernan grandi so tin defektonan grandi
