More quotes by Moliere
It is a long road from conception to completion.
Moliere
One cannot but mistrust a prospect of felicity: one must enjoy it before one can believe in it.
Moliere
To marry a fool is to be no fool.
Moliere
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
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
Frankly, it's good enough to lock up in a drawer.
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
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
unbroken happiness is a bore: it should have ups and downs.
Moliere
Isn't the greatest rule of all the rules simply to please?
Moliere
They [zealots] would have everybody be as blind as themselves: to them, to be clear-sighted is libertinism.
Moliere
As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men, I see no reason why anyone should be exempt.
Moliere
Ah! how annoying that the law doesn't allow a woman to change husbands just as one does shirts.
Moliere
There is nothing so necessary for men as dancing.
Moliere
It is madness beyond compare To try to reform the world.
Moliere
Esteem must be founded on preference: to hold everyone in high esteem is to esteem nothing.
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
Gold is the key, whatever else we try and that sweet metal aids the conqueror in every case, in love as well as war.
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
All the ills of mankind, all the tragic misfortunes that fill the history books, all the political blunders, all the failures of the great leaders have arisen merely from a lack of skill at dancing.
Moliere
