More quotes by Voltaire
Antiquity is full of the praises of another antiquity still more remote.
Voltaire
Theological religion is the source of all imaginable follies and disturbances. It is the parent of fanaticism and civil discord it is the enemy of mankind.
Voltaire
The son of God is the same as the son of man the son of man is the same as the son of God. God, the father, is the same as Christ, the son Christ, the son, is the same as God, the father. This language may appear confused to unbelievers, but Christians will readily understand it.
Voltaire
Despite the enormous quantity of books, how few people read! And if one reads profitably, one would realize how much stupid stuff the vulgar herd is content to swallow every day.
Voltaire
A multitude of laws in a country is like a great number of physicians, a sign of weakness and malady.
Voltaire
Every man can educate himself. It's shameful to put one's mind into the hands of those whom you wouldn't entrust with your money. Dare to think for yourself.
Voltaire
The true triumph of reason is that it enables us to get along with those who do not possess it.
Voltaire
True power and true politeness are above vanity.
Voltaire
Fools admire everything in an author of reputation.
Voltaire
Fear could never make virtue.
Voltaire
One always begins with the simple, then comes the complex, and by superior enlightenment one often reverts in the end to the simple. Such is the course of human intelligence.
Voltaire
It is fancy rather than taste which produces so many new fashions
Voltaire
She blushed and so did he. She greeted him in a faltering voice, and he spoke to her without knowing what he was saying.
Voltaire
And ask each passenger to tell his story, and if there is one of them all who has not cursed his existence many times, and said to himself over and over again that he was the most miserable of men, I give you permission to throw me head-first into the sea.
Voltaire
Injustice in the end produces independence.
Voltaire
Time, which alone makes the reputation of men, ends by making their defects respectable.
Voltaire
The question of good and evil remains in irremediable chaos for those who seek to fathom it in reality. It is mere mental sport to the disputants, who are captives that play with their chains.
Voltaire
It would be very singular that all nature, all the planets, should obey eternal laws, and that there should be a little animal five feet high, who, in contempt of these laws, could act as he pleased, solely according to his caprice.
Voltaire
The malevolence of men revealed itself to his mind in all of its ugliness
Voltaire
Present opportunities are not to be neglected they rarely visit us twice.
Voltaire
