More quotes by Moliere
How easily a fathers tenderness is recalled, and how quickly a son's offenses vanish at the slightest word of repentance!
Moliere
In clothes as well as speech, the man of sense Will shun all these extremes that give offense, Dress unaffectedly, and, without haste, Follow the changes in the current taste.
Moliere
When we are understood, we always speak well, and then all your fine diction serves no purpose.
Moliere
Of all follies there is none greater than wanting to make the world a better place.
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
If Claret is the king of natural wines, Burgundy is the queen.
Moliere
Without dance, a man can do nothing.
Moliere
Innocence is not accustomed to blush.
Moliere
Sometimes I feel something akin to rage At the corrupted morals of this age!
Moliere
Heaven forbids, it is true, certain gratifications, but there are ways and means of compounding such matters.
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
Those whose conduct gives room for talk are always the first to attack their neighbors.
Moliere
Don't appear so scholarly, pray. Humanize your talk, and speak to be understood.
Moliere
We must take the good with the bad For the good when it's good, is so very good That the bad when it's bad can't be bad!
Moliere
As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men, I see no reason why anyone should be exempt.
Moliere
I prefer an interesting vice to a virtue that bores.
Moliere
How easy love makes fools of us.
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 absence of the beloved, short though it may last, always lasts too long.
Moliere
You never see the old austerity That was the essence of civility Young people hereabouts, unbridled, now Just want.
Moliere
