More quotes by Moliere
As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men, I see no reason why anyone should be exempt.
Moliere
Esteem must be founded on preference: to hold everyone in high esteem is to esteem nothing.
Moliere
I prefer an interesting vice to a virtue that bores.
Moliere
I always do the first line well, but I have trouble doing the others.
Moliere
Solitude terrifies the soul at twenty.
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
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
Cultivated people should be superior to any consideration so sordid as a mercenary interest.
Moliere
The secret to fencing consists in two things: to give and to not receive.
Moliere
Without dance, a man can do nothing.
Moliere
There is nothing so necessary for men as dancing.
Moliere
Birth is nothing where virtue is not
Moliere
When we are understood, we always speak well, and then all your fine diction serves no purpose.
Moliere
The more we love our friends, the less we flatter them it is by excusing nothing that pure love shows itself.
Moliere
People are all alike in their promises. It is only in their deeds that they differ.
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
Music and dance are all you need.
Moliere
Heaven forbids, it is true, certain gratifications, but there are ways and means of compounding such matters.
Moliere
The road is long fro the project to its completion.
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
