More quotes by Moliere
The general public is easy. You don't have to answer to anyone and as long as you follow the rules of your profession, you needn't worry about the consequences. But the problem with the powerful and rich is that when they are sick, they really want their doctors to cure them.
Moliere
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
Moliere
In society one needs a flexible virtue too much goodness can be blamable.
Moliere
Innocence is not accustomed to blush. [Fr., L'innocence a rougir n'est point accoutumee.]
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
They [zealots] would have everybody be as blind as themselves: to them, to be clear-sighted is libertinism.
Moliere
I feed on good soup, not beautiful language.
Moliere

Moliere
It is a strange enterprise to make respectable people laugh.
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
One is easily fooled by that which one loves.
Moliere
Love is a great master. It teaches us to be what we never were.
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
Esteem must be founded on preference: to hold everyone in high esteem is to esteem nothing.
Moliere
Good Heavens! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing it.
Moliere
A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.
Moliere
