More quotes by Moliere
Age brings about everything but it is not the time, Madam, as we know, to be a prude at twenty.
Moliere
They [zealots] would have everybody be as blind as themselves: to them, to be clear-sighted is libertinism.
Moliere
Although I am a pious man, I am not the less a man.
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
I maintain, in truth, That with a smile we should instruct our youth, Be very gentle when we have to blame, And not put them in fear of virtue's name.
Moliere
It is a strange enterprise to make respectable people laugh.
Moliere
To marry a fool is to be no fool.
Moliere
Our minds need relaxation, and give way unless we mix with work a little play.
Moliere
The great ambition of women is to inspire love.
Moliere
One can be well-bred and write bad poetry
Moliere
A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation.
Moliere
I prefer an interesting vice to a virtue that bores.
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
It is a fine seasoning for joy to think of those we love.
Moliere
The more powerful the obstacle, the more glory we have in overcoming it and the difficulties with which we are met are the maids of honor which set off virtue.
Moliere
At least it's better to be married than to be dead.
Moliere
Betrayed and wronged in everything, I’ll flee this bitter world where vice is king, And seek some spot unpeopled and apart Where I’ll be free to have an honest heart. - Molière, The Misanthrope
Moliere
Gold gives to the ugliest thing a certain charming air, For that without it were else a miserable affair.
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
