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
As the purpose of comedy is to correct the vices of men, I see no reason why anyone should be exempt.
Moliere
Those whose conduct gives room for talk are always the first to attack their neighbors.
Moliere
[Dom Juan] believes neither in Heaven, nor the saints, nor God, nor the Werewolf.
Moliere
I want people to be sincere a man of honor shouldn't speak a single word that doesn't come straight from his heart.

Moliere
The absence of the beloved, short though it may last, always lasts too long.
Moliere
One should eat to live, not live to eat.

Moliere
The less we deserve good fortune, the more we hope for it.
Moliere

Moliere
Men often marry in hasty recklessness and repent afterward all their lives.
Moliere
Grammar, which knows how to lord it over kings, and with high hands makes them obey its laws.
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
A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of the house.
Moliere
Innocence is not accustomed to blush. [Fr., L'innocence a rougir n'est point accoutumee.]
Moliere
