More quotes by Moliere
Our minds need relaxation, and give way unless we mix with work a little play.
Moliere
Gold gives to the ugliest thing a certain charming air, For that without it were else a miserable affair.
Moliere
The great ambition of women is to inspire love.
Moliere
How easy love makes fools of us.
Moliere
Ah, there are no children nowadays.
Moliere
If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh useless.
Moliere
Gold makes the ugly beautiful.
Moliere
Heaven forbids, it is true, certain gratifications, but there are ways and means of compounding such matters.
Moliere
It is madness beyond compare To try to reform the world.
Moliere
Grammar, which can govern even Kings.
Moliere
It's an odd job, making decent people laugh.
Moliere
I prefer an interesting vice to a virtue that bores.
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
When we are understood, we always speak well, and then all your fine diction serves no purpose.
Moliere
I find medicine is the best of all trades because whether you do any good or not you still. Get your money.
Moliere
All extremes does perfect reason flee, And wishes to be wise quite soberly.
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
The maturing process of becoming a writer is akin to that of a harlot. First you do it for love, then for a few friends, and finally only for money.
Moliere
It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.
Moliere
There's nothing people can't contrive to praise or condemn and find justification for doing so, according to their age and their inclinations.
Moliere
