More quotes by Moliere

Moliere
Birth is nothing where virtue is not
Moliere
Every good act is charity. A man's true wealth hereafter is the good that he does in this world to his fellows.
Moliere
It may cost me twenty thousand francs but for twenty thousand francs, I will have the right to rail against the iniquity of humanity, and to devote to it my eternal hatred.
Moliere
It is a strange enterprise to make respectable people laugh.
Moliere
I have a heart to love all the world and like Alexander I wish there were yet other worlds, so I could carry even further my amorous conquests.
Moliere
I maintain, in truth, That with a smile we should instruct our youth, Be very gentle when we have to blame, And not put them in fear of virtue's name.
Moliere

Moliere
The public scandal is what constitutes the offence: sins sinned in secret are no sins at all.
Moliere
We must take the good with the bad For the good when it's good, is so very good That the bad when it's bad can't be bad!
Moliere
The defects of human nature afford us opportunities of exercising our philosophy, the best employment of our virtues. If all men were righteous, all hearts true and frank and loyal, what use would our virtues be?
Moliere
The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.
Moliere
The smallest errors are always the best. [Fr., Les plus courtes erreurs sont toujours les meilleures.]
Moliere
I would like to be like my father and all the rest of my ancestors who never married.
Moliere
The general public is easy. You don't have to answer to anyone and as long as you follow the rules of your profession, you needn't worry about the consequences. But the problem with the powerful and rich is that when they are sick, they really want their doctors to cure them.
Moliere
One cannot but mistrust a prospect of felicity: one must enjoy it before one can believe in it.
Moliere
Folk whose own behavior is most ridiculous are always to the fore in slandering others.
Moliere
It is a folly second to none to try to improve the world.
Moliere
