More quotes by 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

Moliere

Moliere

Moliere

Moliere
It is madness beyond compare To try to reform the world.
Moliere
Our minds need relaxation, and give way unless we mix with work a little play.
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
Beauty without intelligence is like a hook without bait.
Moliere
How easily a fathers tenderness is recalled, and how quickly a son's offenses vanish at the slightest word of repentance!

Although I am a pious man, I am not the less a man.
Moliere
