Moliere
You never see the old austerity That was the essence of civility Young people hereabouts, unbridled, now Just want.
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

Moliere
Great is the fortune of he who possesses a good bottle, a good book, and a good friend.

Moliere
Innocence is not accustomed to blush.
Moliere

Things are only worth what you make them worth.
Moliere
Love is a great master. It teaches us to be what we never were.
Moliere
I have a heart to love all the world and like Alexander I wish there were yet other worlds, so I could carry even further my amorous conquests.
Moliere
Cultivated people should be superior to any consideration so sordid as a mercenary interest.
Moliere
People can be induced to swallow anything, provided it is sufficiently seasoned with praise.
Moliere
