More quotes by Moliere
To inspire love is a woman's greatest ambition, believe me. It's the one thing woman care about and there's no woman so proud that she does not rejoice at heart in her conquests.
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
Don't appear so scholarly, pray. Humanize your talk, and speak to be understood.
Moliere
New-born desires, after all, have inexplicable charms, and all the pleasure of love is in variety.
Moliere
Love is a great master. It teaches us to be what we never were.
Moliere
I prefer an interesting vice to a virtue that bores.
Moliere
Those whose conduct gives room for talk are always the first to attack their neighbors.
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
To marry a fool is to be no fool.
Moliere
Two wives? That exceeds the custom.
Moliere
Gold gives to the ugliest thing a certain charming air, For that without it were else a miserable affair.
Moliere
And with his arms crossed he looks pityingly down from his spiritual height on everything that anyone says.
Moliere
They [zealots] would have everybody be as blind as themselves: to them, to be clear-sighted is libertinism.
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
Every good act is charity. A man's true wealth hereafter is the good that he does in this world to his fellows.
Moliere
How easily a fathers tenderness is recalled, and how quickly a son's offenses vanish at the slightest word of repentance!
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
There's a sort of decency among the dead, a remarkable discretion: you never find them making any complaint against the doctor who killed them!
Moliere
Ah! how annoying that the law doesn't allow a woman to change husbands just as one does shirts.
Moliere
We are easily duped by those we love.
Moliere
