Moliere
Deference and intimacy live far apart.
Moliere
All which is not prose is verse and all which is not verse is prose.
Moliere

Moliere
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
Moliere
One is easily fooled by that which one loves.
Moliere
Birth is nothing without virtue, and we have no claim to share in the glory of our ancestors unless we endeavor to resemble them.
Moliere

Man's greatest weakness is his love for life.
Moliere
