More quotes by Moliere
My fair one, let us swear an eternal friendship.
Moliere
Of all follies there is none greater than wanting to make the world a better place.
Moliere
Long is the road from conception to completion.
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
No matter what Aristotle and the Philosophers say, nothing is equal to tobacco it's the passion of the well-bred, and he who lives without tobacco lives a life not worth living.
Moliere
There's nothing people can't contrive to praise or condemn and find justification for doing so, according to their age and their inclinations.
Moliere
But it is not reason that governs love.
Moliere
If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh useless.
Moliere
Betrayed and wronged in everything, I’ll flee this bitter world where vice is king, And seek some spot unpeopled and apart Where I’ll be free to have an honest heart. - Molière, The Misanthrope
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
One should eat to live, not live to eat.
Moliere
All right-minded people adore it and anyone who is able to live without it is unworthy to draw breathe
Moliere
Human weakness is to desire to know what one does not want to know.
Moliere
The smallest errors are always the best. [Fr., Les plus courtes erreurs sont toujours les meilleures.]
Moliere
You think you can marry for your own pleasure, friend?
Moliere
It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.
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
Man, I can assure you, is a nasty creature.
Moliere
Two wives? That exceeds the custom.
Moliere
