More quotes by Moliere
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
Moliere
If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh useless.
Moliere
I have a heart to love all the world and like Alexander I wish there were yet other worlds, so I could carry even further my amorous conquests.
Moliere
The absence of the beloved, short though it may last, always lasts too long.
Moliere
unbroken happiness is a bore: it should have ups and downs.
Moliere
The world, dear Agnes, is a strange affair.
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

Moliere
Frenchmen have an unlimited capacity for gallantry and indulge it on every occasion.
Moliere
Oh, I may be devout, but I am human all the same.
Moliere
Birth is nothing without virtue, and we have no claim to share in the glory of our ancestors unless we endeavor to resemble them.
Moliere
It is the public scandal that offends to sin in secret is no sin at all.
Moliere
Two wives? That exceeds the custom.
Moliere
One easily bears moral reproof, but never mockery.
Moliere
All right-minded people adore it and anyone who is able to live without it is unworthy to draw breathe
Moliere
To marry a fool is to be no fool.
Moliere
I would like to be like my father and all the rest of my ancestors who never married.
Moliere
At least it's better to be married than to be dead.
Moliere
And with his arms crossed he looks pityingly down from his spiritual height on everything that anyone says.
Moliere
All extremes does perfect reason flee, And wishes to be wise quite soberly.
Moliere
