More quotes by Voltaire
If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.
Voltaire
Everything I see about me is sowing the seeds of a revolution that is inevitable, though I shall not have the pleasure of seeing it. The lightning is so close at hand that it will strike at the first chance, and then there will be a pretty uproar. The young are fortunate, for they will see fine things.
Voltaire
Doubt is not a pleasant condition, but certainty is absurd.
Voltaire
When one man speaks to another man who doesn't understand him, and when a man who's speaking no longer understands, it's metaphysics.
Voltaire
Tyrants have always some slight shade of virtue they support the laws before destroying them.
Voltaire
The most genuine and efficacious charity is that which greases the paws of the priests such charity covers a multitude of sins.
Voltaire
Let us help one another to bear our burdens.
Voltaire
The darkness is at its deepest. Just before the sunrise.
Voltaire
God gave us the gift of life it is up to us to give ourselves the gift of living well.
Voltaire
I have chosen to be happy because it is goo for my health.
Voltaire
We offer up prayers to god only because we have made him after our own image. We treat him like a pasha, or a sultan, who is capable of being exasperated and appeased.
Voltaire
The tyranny of the many would be when one body takes over the rights of others, and then exercises its power to change the laws in its favor.
Voltaire
The true character of liberty is independence, maintained by force.
Voltaire
History is the lie commonly agreed upon.
Voltaire
I believe that there never was a creator of a philosophical system who did not confess at the end of his life that he had wasted his time. It must be admitted that the inventors of the mechanical arts have been much more useful to men that the inventors of syllogisms. He who imagined a ship towers considerably above him who imagined innate ideas.
Voltaire
We are all guilty of the good we did not do
Voltaire
Truth is a fruit which should not be plucked until it is ripe.
Voltaire
If we would destroy the Christian religion, we must first of all destroy man's belief in the Bible.
Voltaire
Fame is a heavy burden.
Voltaire
The happiest of all lives is a busy solitude.
Voltaire
