Moliere
I hate all men, the ones because they are mean and vicious, and the others for being complaisant with the vicious ones.
Moliere
Gold is the key, whatever else we try and that sweet metal aids the conqueror in every case, in love as well as war.
Moliere
I prefer a pleasant vice to an annoying virtue.
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
Rest assured that there is nothing which wounds the heart of a noble man more deeply than the thought his honour is assailed.

Moliere
One easily bears moral reproof, but never mockery.
Moliere
Age brings about everything but it is not the time, Madam, as we know, to be a prude at twenty.
Moliere
Oh, I may be devout, but I am human all the same.
Moliere
All right-minded people adore it and anyone who is able to live without it is unworthy to draw breathe
Moliere
Things are only worth what you make them worth.
Moliere
