More quotes by Moliere
Deference and intimacy live far apart.
Moliere
One easily bears moral reproof, but never mockery.
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
All is wholesome in the absence of excess.
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
It is a long road from conception to completion.
Moliere
Sharing with Jupiter is never a dishonor.
Moliere
Innocence is not accustomed to blush.
Moliere
New-born desires, after all, have inexplicable charms, and all the pleasure of love is in variety.
Moliere
Those whose conduct gives room for talk are always the first to attack their neighbors.
Moliere
Man's greatest weakness is his love for life.
Moliere
The envious will die, but envy never.
Moliere
Without dance, a man can do nothing.
Moliere
It's an odd job, making decent people laugh.
Moliere
They [zealots] would have everybody be as blind as themselves: to them, to be clear-sighted is libertinism.
Moliere
All the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing.
Moliere
The defects of human nature afford us opportunities of exercising our philosophy, the best employment of our virtues. If all men were righteous, all hearts true and frank and loyal, what use would our virtues be?
Moliere
It is the public scandal that offends to sin in secret is no sin at all.
Moliere
All extremes does perfect reason flee, And wishes to be wise quite soberly.
Moliere
It is a strange enterprise to make respectable people laugh.
Moliere
