More quotes by Moliere
Hypocrisy is a fashionable vice, and all fashionable vices pass for virtue.
Moliere
Love is a great master. It teaches us to be what we never were.
Moliere
You never see the old austerity That was the essence of civility Young people hereabouts, unbridled, now Just want.
Moliere
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
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
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
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
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
Gold gives to the ugliest thing a certain charming air, For that without it were else a miserable affair.
Moliere
I live on good soup, not on fine words.
Moliere
Long is the road from conception to completion.
Moliere
Man, I can assure you, is a nasty creature.
Moliere
[Dom Juan] believes neither in Heaven, nor the saints, nor God, nor the Werewolf.
Moliere
My fair one, let us swear an eternal friendship.
Moliere
Human weakness is to desire to know what one does not want to know.
Moliere
Of all follies there is none greater than wanting to make the world a better place.
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
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 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
The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.
Moliere
