More quotes by Moliere
A husband is a plaster that cures all the ills of girlhood.
Moliere
Grammar, which can govern even Kings.
Moliere
They [zealots] would have everybody be as blind as themselves: to them, to be clear-sighted is libertinism.
Moliere
I have the fault of being a little more sincere than is proper.
Moliere
Consistency is only suitable for ridicule.
Moliere
Doubts are more cruel than the worst of truths. It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do. A lover whose passion is extreme loves even the faults of the beloved
Moliere
[Dom Juan] believes neither in Heaven, nor the saints, nor God, nor the Werewolf.
Moliere
All which is not prose is verse and all which is not verse is prose.
Moliere
A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.
Moliere
But it is not reason that governs love.
Moliere
The maturing process of becoming a writer is akin to that of a harlot. First you do it for love, then for a few friends, and finally only for money.
Moliere
Age brings about everything but it is not the time, Madam, as we know, to be a prude at twenty.
Moliere
The great ambition of women is to inspire love.
Moliere
Gold makes the ugly beautiful.
Moliere
Love is a great master. It teaches us to be what we never were.
Moliere
There is nothing so necessary for men as dancing.
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
I prefer a pleasant vice to an annoying virtue.
Moliere
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
Moliere
All the satires of the stage should be viewed without discomfort. They are public mirrors, where we are never to admit that we seeourselves one admits to a fault when one is scandalized by its censure.
Moliere
