Moliere
Outside of Paris, there is no hope for the cultured.
Moliere
How easy love makes fools of us.
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
The road is long fro the project to its completion.
Moliere
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
Moliere
The smallest errors are always the best. [Fr., Les plus courtes erreurs sont toujours les meilleures.]
Moliere
The public scandal is what constitutes the offence: sins sinned in secret are no sins at all.
Moliere
When we are understood, we always speak well, and then all your fine diction serves no purpose.
Moliere
A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.
Moliere

Moliere
Deference and intimacy live far apart.
Moliere
We live under a prince who is an enemy to fraud, a prince whose eyes penetrate into the heart, and whom all the art of impostors can't deceive.
Moliere
Men often marry in hasty recklessness and repent afterward all their lives.
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
You think you can marry for your own pleasure, friend?
Moliere
I have the fault of being a little more sincere than is proper.
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
I would like to be like my father and all the rest of my ancestors who never married.
Moliere
