More quotes by Voltaire
Give me a few minutes to talk away my face and I can seduce the Queen of France.
Voltaire
Indeed, history is nothing more than a tableau of crimes and misfortunes.
Voltaire
The interest I have to believe a thing is no proof that such a thing exists.
Voltaire
Let us cultivate our garden.
Voltaire
The husband who decides to surprise his wife is often very much surprised himself.
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
Clever tyrants are never punished.
Voltaire
When he who hears does not know what he who speaks means, and when he who speaks does not know what he himself means, that is philosophy.
Voltaire
The more he became truly wise, the more he distrusted everything he knew.
Voltaire

Voltaire
Another century and there will not be a Bible on earth!
Voltaire
If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.
Voltaire
If there are atheists, who is to be blamed if not the mercenary tyrants of souls who, in revolting us against their swindles, compel some feeble spirits to deny the God whom these monsters dishonour?
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
Men argue. Nature acts.
Voltaire
If it's too silly to be said, it can always be sung.
Voltaire
It requires ages to destroy a popular opinion.
Voltaire
Atheism is the vice of a few intelligent people.
Voltaire
This is no time to make new enemies.
Voltaire
It is impossible to translate poetry. Can you translate music?
Voltaire
