More quotes by Moliere
I feed on good soup, not beautiful language.
Moliere
One easily bears moral reproof, but never mockery.
Moliere
If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh useless.
Moliere
I always do the first line well, but I have trouble doing the others.
Moliere
Long is the road from conception to completion.
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
You never see the old austerity That was the essence of civility Young people hereabouts, unbridled, now Just want.
Moliere
Birth is nothing where virtue is not
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
Sharing with Jupiter is never a dishonor.
Moliere
One is easily fooled by that which one loves.
Moliere
Grammar, which can govern even Kings.
Moliere
All right-minded people adore it and anyone who is able to live without it is unworthy to draw breathe
Moliere
When we are understood, we always speak well, and then all your fine diction serves no purpose.
Moliere
It is a fine seasoning for joy to think of those we love.
Moliere
My heavens! I've been talking prose for the last forty years without knowing it.
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
To create a public scandal is what's wicked to sin in private is not a sin.
Moliere
The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it.
Moliere
The public scandal is what constitutes the offence: sins sinned in secret are no sins at all.
Moliere
