More quotes by Moliere
Rest assured that there is nothing which wounds the heart of a noble man more deeply than the thought his honour is assailed.
Moliere
Anyone may be an honorable man, and yet write verse badly.
Moliere
I hate all men, the ones because they are mean and vicious, and the others for being complaisant with the vicious ones.
Moliere
Don't appear so scholarly, pray. Humanize your talk, and speak to be understood.
Moliere
The world, dear Agnes, is a strange affair.
Moliere
Deference and intimacy live far apart.
Moliere
Those whose conduct gives room for talk are always the first to attack their neighbors.
Moliere
And knowing money is a root of evil, in Christian charity, he'd take away whatever things may hinder your salvation.
Moliere
There is no fate more distressing for an artist than to have to show himself off before fools, to see his work exposed to the criticism of the vulgar and ignorant.
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
People can be induced to swallow anything, provided it is sufficiently seasoned with praise.
Moliere
Solitude terrifies the soul at twenty.
Moliere
Man's greatest weakness is his love for life.
Moliere
There's a sort of decency among the dead, a remarkable discretion: you never find them making any complaint against the doctor who killed them!
Moliere
It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do.
Moliere
The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.
Moliere
My fair one, let us swear an eternal friendship.
Moliere
Every good act is charity. A man's true wealth hereafter is the good that he does in this world to his fellows.
Moliere
unbroken happiness is a bore: it should have ups and downs.
Moliere
The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.
Moliere
