More quotes by Voltaire
He who cannot shine by thought, seeks to bring himself into notice by a witticism.
Voltaire
History is a pack of lies we play on the dead.
Voltaire
A torch lighted in the forests of America set all Europe in conflagration.
Voltaire
I hate women because they always know where things are.
Voltaire
Every one should be his own physician. We ought to assist, and not to force nature. Eat with moderation...Nothing is good for the body but what we can digest. What medicine can procure digestion? Exercise. What will recruit strength? Sleep.
Voltaire
Everything's fine today, that is our illusion.
Voltaire
It is reported in the supplement of the council of Nicæan that the fathers, being very perplexed to know which were the cryphal or apocryphal books of the Old and New Testaments, put them all pell-mell on an altar, and the books to be rejected fell to the ground. It is a pity that this eloquent procedure has not survived.
Voltaire
The mouth obeys poorly when the heart murmurs.
Voltaire
Now, now my good man, this is no time to be making enemies. (Voltaire on his deathbed in response to a priest asking him that he renounce Satan.)
Voltaire
But nothing is more estimable than a physician who, having studied nature from his youth, knows the properties of the human body, the diseases which assail it, the remedies which will benefit it, exercises his art with caution, and pays equal attention to the rich and the poor.
Voltaire
I cannot imagine how the clockwork of the universe can exist without a clockmaker.
Voltaire
Meditation is the dissolution of thoughts in Eternal awareness or Pure consciousness without objectification, knowing without thinking, merging finitude in infinity.
Voltaire
Satire lies about literary men while they live and eulogy lies about them when they die.
Voltaire
The only reward to be expected from literature is contempt if one fails and hatred if one succeeds.
Voltaire
The greatest consolation in life is to say what one thinks.
Voltaire
If God did not exist, He would have to be invented. But all nature cries aloud that he does exist: that there is a supreme intelligence, an immense power, an admirable order, and everything teaches us our own dependence on it.
Voltaire
There are some that only employ words for the purpose of disguising their thoughts.
Voltaire
Great men have all been formed either before academies or independent of them.
Voltaire
Everyone places his good where he can and has as much of it as he can, in his own way.
Voltaire
Let each of us boldly and honestly say: How little it is that I really know!
Voltaire
