More quotes by Moliere
unbroken happiness is a bore: it should have ups and downs.
Moliere
To inspire love is a woman's greatest ambition, believe me. It's the one thing woman care about and there's no woman so proud that she does not rejoice at heart in her conquests.
Moliere
Men often marry in hasty recklessness and repent afterward all their lives.
Moliere
Ah, there are no children nowadays.
Moliere
Solitude terrifies the soul at twenty.
Moliere
The most effective way of attacking vice is to expose it to public ridicule. People can put up with rebukes but they cannot bear being laughed at: they are prepared to be wicked but they dislike appearing ridiculous.
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
Outside of Paris, there is no hope for the cultured.
Moliere
How easy love makes fools of us.
Moliere
We die only once, and for such a long time.
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
It is fine for a woman to know a lot but I don't want her to have this shocking desire to be learned for learnedness sake. When I ask a woman a question, I like her to pretend to ignore what she really knows.
Moliere
We are easily duped by those we love.
Moliere
I hate all men, the ones because they are mean and vicious, and the others for being complaisant with the vicious ones.
Moliere
The secret to fencing consists in two things: to give and to not receive.
Moliere
In clothes as well as speech, the man of sense Will shun all these extremes that give offense, Dress unaffectedly, and, without haste, Follow the changes in the current taste.
Moliere
Grammar, which knows how to lord it over kings, and with high hands makes them obey its laws.
Moliere
A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.
Moliere
All is wholesome in the absence of excess.
Moliere
