More quotes by Voltaire
The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.
Voltaire
When truth is evident, it is impossible for parties and factions to rise. There never has been a dispute as to whether there is daylight at noon.
Voltaire
I loved him as we always love the first time: with idolatry and wild passion.
Voltaire
It is not a mistress I have lost but half of myself, a soul for which my soul seems to have been made.
Voltaire
We only half live when we only half think.
Voltaire
The mouth obeys poorly when the heart murmurs.
Voltaire
We admit, in geometry, not only infinite magnitudes, that is to say, magnitudes greater than any assignable magnitude, but infinite magnitudes infinitely greater, the one than the other. This astonishes our dimension of brains, which is only about six inches long, five broad, and six in depth, in the largest heads.
Voltaire
Faith consists in believing what reason cannot.
Voltaire
Once your faith persuades you to believe what your intelligence declares absurd, beware, lest you likewise sacrifice your reason in the conduct of your life.
Voltaire
Do you think... that men have always massacred each other, as they do today? Have they always been liars, cheats, traitors, brigands, weak, flighty, cowardly, envious, gluttonous, drunken, grasping, and vicious, bloody, backbiting, debauched, fanatical, hypocritical, and silly?
Voltaire
Virtue debases itself in justifying itself.
Voltaire
The superfluous, a very necessary thing.
Voltaire
Our priests are not what a silly populace supposes all their learning consists in our credulity.
Voltaire
Men appear to prefer ruining one another's fortunes, and cutting each other's throats about a few paltry villages, to extending the grand means of human happiness.
Voltaire
Marriage is the only adventure open to the cowardly.
Voltaire
Let all the laws be clear, uniform and precise for interpreting laws is almost always to corrupt them.
Voltaire
It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.
Voltaire
Heaven made virtue man, the appearance.
Voltaire
A good cook is a certain slow poisoner, if you are not temperate.
Voltaire
The more estimable the offender, the greater the torment.
Voltaire
