More quotes by Moliere
If everyone were clothed with integrity, if every heart were just, frank, kindly, the other virtues would be well-nigh useless.
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
We live under a prince who is an enemy to fraud, a prince whose eyes penetrate into the heart, and whom all the art of impostors can't deceive.
Moliere
The defects of human nature afford us opportunities of exercising our philosophy, the best employment of our virtues. If all men were righteous, all hearts true and frank and loyal, what use would our virtues be?
Moliere
Those whose conduct gives room for talk are always the first to attack their neighbors.
Moliere
The world, dear Agnes, is a strange affair.
Moliere
Things are only worth what you make them worth.
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
A good husband be the best sort of plaster for to cure a young woman's ailments.
Moliere
You only die once, but you will be dead for a very long time.
Moliere
Beauty without intelligence is like a hook without bait.
Moliere
True, Heaven prohibits certain pleasures but one can generally negotiate a compromise.
Moliere
Of all follies there is none greater than wanting to make the world a better place.
Moliere
We are easily duped by those we love.
Moliere
At least it's better to be married than to be dead.
Moliere
Rest assured that there is nothing which wounds the heart of a noble man more deeply than the thought his honour is assailed.
Moliere
New-born desires, after all, have inexplicable charms, and all the pleasure of love is in variety.
Moliere
All the satires of the stage should be viewed without discomfort. They are public mirrors, where we are never to admit that we seeourselves one admits to a fault when one is scandalized by its censure.
Moliere
Heaven forbids, it is true, certain gratifications, but there are ways and means of compounding such matters.
Moliere
Consistency is only suitable for ridicule.
Moliere
