More quotes by Moliere
Consistency is only suitable for ridicule.
Moliere
Love is often the fruit of marriage.
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
Gold gives to the ugliest thing a certain charming air, For that without it were else a miserable affair.
Moliere
We are easily duped by those we love.
Moliere
I recover my property wherever I find it.
Moliere
Outside of Paris, there is no hope for the cultured.
Moliere
My fair one, let us swear an eternal friendship.
Moliere
Folk whose own behavior is most ridiculous are always to the fore in slandering others.
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
Beauty without intelligence is like a hook without bait.
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

Moliere
The world, dear Agnes, is a strange affair.
Moliere
Frankly, it's good enough to lock up in a drawer.
Moliere
Heaven forbids, it is true, certain gratifications, but there are ways and means of compounding such matters.
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 prefer an interesting vice to a virtue that bores.
Moliere
Man, I can assure you, is a nasty creature.
Moliere
All right-minded people adore it and anyone who is able to live without it is unworthy to draw breathe
Moliere
