More quotes by 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
Then worms shall try That long preserved virginity, And your quaint honor turn to dust, And into ashes all my lust. The grave's a fine and private place But none, I think, do there embrace.
Moliere
Man, I can assure you, is a nasty creature.
Moliere
It's an odd job, making decent people laugh.
Moliere

Moliere
A learned fool is more a fool than an ignorant fool.
Moliere
But it is not reason that governs love.

Moliere
Of all human foibles love of living is the most powerful.
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
It may cost me twenty thousand francs but for twenty thousand francs, I will have the right to rail against the iniquity of humanity, and to devote to it my eternal hatred.
Moliere
unbroken happiness is a bore: it should have ups and downs.
Moliere
The absence of the beloved, short though it may last, always lasts too long.
Moliere
Long is the road from conception to completion.
Moliere
