More quotes by Moliere
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
Moliere
Cultivated people should be superior to any consideration so sordid as a mercenary interest.
Moliere
There is no fate more distressing for an artist than to have to show himself off before fools, to see his work exposed to the criticism of the vulgar and ignorant.
Moliere
All which is not prose is verse and all which is not verse is prose.
Moliere
Deference and intimacy live far apart.
Moliere
You only die once, but you will be dead for a very long time.
Moliere

Moliere
To marry a fool is to be no fool.
Moliere
If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh useless.
Moliere
I want people to be sincere a man of honor shouldn't speak a single word that doesn't come straight from his heart.
Moliere
Frankly, it's good enough to lock up in a drawer.
Moliere
Love is a great master. It teaches us to be what we never were.
Moliere
The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.
Moliere
The ancients, sir, are the ancients, and we are the people of today.
Moliere
People can be induced to swallow anything, provided it is sufficiently seasoned with praise.
Moliere
Then worms shall try That long preserved virginity, And your quaint honor turn to dust, And into ashes all my lust. The grave's a fine and private place But none, I think, do there embrace.
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
If Claret is the king of natural wines, Burgundy is the queen.
Moliere
True, Heaven prohibits certain pleasures but one can generally negotiate a compromise.
Moliere
One cannot but mistrust a prospect of felicity: one must enjoy it before one can believe in it.
Moliere
