More quotes by Francois Rabelais
He that has patience may compass anything.
Francois Rabelais
Wisdom entereth not into a malicious mind.
Francois Rabelais
Wait a second while I take a swig off this bottle: it's my true and only Helicon, my Caballine fount, my sole Enthusiasm. Here, drinking, I deliberate, I reason, I resolve and conclude. After the epilogue I laugh, I write, I compose, I drink. Ennius drinking would write, writing would drink.
Francois Rabelais
Ignorance is the mother of all evils.
Francois Rabelais
Believe me, 'tis a godlike thing to lend to owe is a heroic virtue.
Francois Rabelais
It's a shame to be called educated those who do not study the ancient Greek writers.
Francois Rabelais
All things have their ends and cycles. And when they have reached their highest point, they are in their lowest ruin, for they cannot last for long in such a state. Such is the end for those who cannot moderate their fortune and prosperity with reason and temperance.
Francois Rabelais
If in your soil it takes, to heaven A thousand thousand thanks be given And say with France, it goodly goes, Where the Pantagruelion grows.
Francois Rabelais
I know of a charm by way of a prayer that will preserve a man from the violence of guns and all manner of fire-weapons and engines but it will do me no good because I do not believe it
Francois Rabelais
According to true military art, one should never push one's enemy to the point of despair, because such a state multiplies his strength and increases his courage which had already been crushed and failing, and because there is no better remedy for the health of beaten and overwhelmed men than the absence of all hope.
Francois Rabelais
So much is a man worth as he esteems himself.
Francois Rabelais
In this mortal life, nothing is blessed throughout.
Francois Rabelais
The Lord forbid that I should be out of debt, as if indeed I could not be trusted.
Francois Rabelais
I drink no more than a sponge.
Francois Rabelais
Gestures, in love, are incomparably more attractive, effective and valuable than words.
Francois Rabelais
So that we may not be like the Athenians, who never consulted except after the event done. [Fr., Afin que ne semblons es Athenians, qui ne consultoient jamais sinon apres le cas faict.]
Francois Rabelais
A war undertaken without sufficient monies has but a wisp of force. Coins are the very sinews of battles.
Francois Rabelais
Fate leads the willing, and th' unwilling draws.
Francois Rabelais
Appetite comes with eating.....but thirst goes away with drinking.
Francois Rabelais
If you wish to be good Pantagruelists (which is to say, live in peace, joy, health, and always dining well), never put too much faith in people who look out through a hole.
