More quotes by Moliere
Consistency is only suitable for ridicule.
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
I prefer an interesting vice to a virtue that bores.
Moliere
Beauty without intelligence is like a hook without bait.
Moliere
The smallest errors are always the best. [Fr., Les plus courtes erreurs sont toujours les meilleures.]
Moliere
It is a fine seasoning for joy to think of those we love.
Moliere
unbroken happiness is a bore: it should have ups and downs.
Moliere
It is madness beyond compare To try to reform the world.
Moliere
I would like to be like my father and all the rest of my ancestors who never married.
Moliere
All right-minded people adore it and anyone who is able to live without it is unworthy to draw breathe
Moliere
Things are only worth what you make them worth.
Moliere
In society one needs a flexible virtue too much goodness can be blamable.
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
Music and dance are all you need.
Moliere
Most people die from the remedy rather than from the illness.
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 less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it.
Moliere
Betrayed and wronged in everything, I’ll flee this bitter world where vice is king, And seek some spot unpeopled and apart Where I’ll be free to have an honest heart. - Molière, The Misanthrope
Moliere
Deference and intimacy live far apart.
Moliere
As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men, I see no reason why anyone should be exempt.
Moliere
