Moliere
Doubts are more cruel than the worst of truths. It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do. A lover whose passion is extreme loves even the faults of the beloved
Moliere

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
A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of the house.
Moliere
A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.
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
I prefer an interesting vice to a virtue that bores.
Moliere
All right-minded people adore it and anyone who is able to live without it is unworthy to draw breathe
Moliere
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
Moliere
