More quotes by Moliere
The road is long fro the project to its completion.
Moliere
The general public is easy. You don't have to answer to anyone and as long as you follow the rules of your profession, you needn't worry about the consequences. But the problem with the powerful and rich is that when they are sick, they really want their doctors to cure them.
Moliere

Moliere
To marry a fool is to be no fool.
Moliere
Heaven forbids, it is true, certain gratifications, but there are ways and means of compounding such matters.
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
A husband is a plaster that cures all the ills of girlhood.
Moliere
Long is the road from conception to completion.

How easy love makes fools of us.
Moliere
