More quotes by Moliere
The road is long fro the project to its completion.
Moliere
Innocence is not accustomed to blush. [Fr., L'innocence a rougir n'est point accoutumee.]
Moliere
No matter what Aristotle and the Philosophers say, nothing is equal to tobacco it's the passion of the well-bred, and he who lives without tobacco lives a life not worth living.
Moliere
You think you can marry for your own pleasure, friend?
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 fine for a woman to know a lot but I don't want her to have this shocking desire to be learned for learnedness sake. When I ask a woman a question, I like her to pretend to ignore what she really knows.
Moliere
Music and dance are all you need.
Moliere
Men often marry in hasty recklessness and repent afterward all their lives.
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
All which is not prose is verse and all which is not verse is prose.
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 should eat to live, not live to eat.
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
The ancients, sir, are the ancients, and we are the people of today.
Moliere
The envious will die, but envy never.
Moliere
I have the fault of being a little more sincere than is proper.
Moliere
Sharing with Jupiter is never a dishonor.
Moliere
It is a fine seasoning for joy to think of those we love.
Moliere
Things are only worth what you make them worth.
Moliere
To live without loving is not really to live.
Moliere
