More quotes by Moliere

Moliere
One cannot but mistrust a prospect of felicity: one must enjoy it before one can believe in it.
Moliere
And knowing money is a root of evil, in Christian charity, he'd take away whatever things may hinder your salvation.
Moliere
Grammar, which knows how to lord it over kings, and with high hands makes them obey its laws.

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
Isn't the greatest rule of all the rules simply to please?
Moliere
A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.
Moliere
