More quotes by Voltaire

Voltaire
The history of human opinion is scarcely anything more than the history of human errors.
Voltaire
Let us work without theorizing, tis the only way to make life endurable.
Voltaire
God prefers bad verses recited with a pure heart to the finest verses chanted by the wicked.
Voltaire
All is a miracle. The stupendous order of nature, the revolution of a hundred millions of worlds around a million of stars, the activity of light, the life of all animals, all are grand and perpetual miracles.
Voltaire
There is no such thing as an accident. What we call by that name is the effect of some cause which we do not see.
Voltaire
Men, generally going with the stream, seldom judge for themselves, and purity of taste is almost as rare as talent.
Voltaire
Perfect is the enemy of good.
Voltaire
Every abuse ought to be reformed, unless the reform is more dangerous than the abuse itself.
Voltaire

Voltaire
A circumstance which has always appeared wonderful to me, is that such sublime discoveries should have been made by the sole assistance of a quadrant and a little arithmetic.
Voltaire
He must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is asked.
Voltaire
We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilisation.
Voltaire
The happiest of all lives is a busy solitude.
Voltaire

Voltaire
To a toad what is beauty? A female with two lovely pop-eyes, a wide mouth, yellow belly, and green spotted back.
Voltaire
One day everything will be well, that is our hope. Everything's fine today, that is our illusion.
Voltaire
Is there anyone so wise as to learn by the experience of others?
Voltaire
Theology is to religion what poisons are to food.
Voltaire
He was my equal in beauty, a paragon of grace and charm, sparkling with wit, and burning with love. I adored him to distraction, to the point of idolatry: I loved him as one can never love twice.
Voltaire
