More quotes by Moliere
We must take the good with the bad For the good when it's good, is so very good That the bad when it's bad can't be bad!
Moliere
The public scandal is what constitutes the offence: sins sinned in secret are no sins at all.
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
We die only once, and for such a long time.
Moliere
But it is not reason that governs love.
Moliere
New-born desires, after all, have inexplicable charms, and all the pleasure of love is in variety.
Moliere
The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it.
Moliere
It may cost me twenty thousand francs but for twenty thousand francs, I will have the right to rail against the iniquity of humanity, and to devote to it my eternal hatred.
Moliere
Everyone has a right to his own course of action.
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 general public is easy. You don't have to answer to anyone and as long as you follow the rules of your profession, you needn't worry about the consequences. But the problem with the powerful and rich is that when they are sick, they really want their doctors to cure them.
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
All right-minded people adore it and anyone who is able to live without it is unworthy to draw breathe
Moliere
Two wives? That exceeds the custom.
Moliere
It's an odd job, making decent people laugh.
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 a pleasant vice to an annoying virtue.
Moliere
Then worms shall try That long preserved virginity, And your quaint honor turn to dust, And into ashes all my lust. The grave's a fine and private place But none, I think, do there embrace.
Moliere
I feed on good soup, not beautiful language.
Moliere
Grammar, which knows how to lord it over kings, and with high hands makes them obey its laws.
Moliere
