More quotes by 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
We live under a prince who is an enemy to fraud, a prince whose eyes penetrate into the heart, and whom all the art of impostors can't deceive.
Moliere
Man, I can assure you, is a nasty creature.
Moliere
I want people to be sincere a man of honor shouldn't speak a single word that doesn't come straight from his heart.
Moliere
And with his arms crossed he looks pityingly down from his spiritual height on everything that anyone says.
Moliere
To inspire love is a woman's greatest ambition, believe me. It's the one thing woman care about and there's no woman so proud that she does not rejoice at heart in her conquests.
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
All which is not prose is verse and all which is not verse is prose.
Moliere
The great ambition of women is to inspire love.
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
The world, dear Agnes, is a strange affair.
Moliere
People can be induced to swallow anything, provided it is sufficiently seasoned with praise.
Moliere
Heaven forbids, it is true, certain gratifications, but there are ways and means of compounding such matters.
Moliere
All right-minded people adore it and anyone who is able to live without it is unworthy to draw breathe
Moliere
At least it's better to be married than to be dead.
Moliere
Love is a great master. It teaches us to be what we never were.
Moliere
How easy love makes fools of us.
Moliere
New-born desires, after all, have inexplicable charms, and all the pleasure of love is in variety.
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
One easily bears moral reproof, but never mockery.
Moliere
