More quotes by 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
Doubts are more cruel than the worst of truths. It is not only for what we do that we are held responsible, but also for what we do not do. A lover whose passion is extreme loves even the faults of the beloved
Moliere

Moliere
Birth is nothing where virtue is not
Moliere
I live on good soup, not on fine words.
Moliere

Moliere
Ah, there are no children nowadays.
Moliere
Esteem must be founded on preference: to hold everyone in high esteem is to esteem nothing.
Moliere
To marry a fool is to be no fool.
Moliere
Human weakness is to desire to know what one does not want to know.
Moliere
Heaven forbids, it is true, certain gratifications, but there are ways and means of compounding such matters.
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
