There are more people who wish to be loved than there are who are willing to love

Nicolas Chamfort, a French writer and playwright known for his wit and cynicism, once famously said, “There are more people who wish to be loved than there are who are willing to love.” This statement speaks to the universal desire for love and affection that exists within all of us, but also highlights the selfishness and self-centeredness that can often prevent us from truly giving love to others.
