More quotes by Voltaire
There's scarce a point whereon mankind agree - So well as in their boast of killing me I boast of nothing, but when I've a mind - I think I can be even with mankind
Voltaire
The atheists are for the most part imprudent and misguided scholars who reason badly who, not being able to understand the Creation, the origin of evil, and other difficulties, have recourse to the hypothesis the eternity of things and of inevitability.
Voltaire
Life is a shipwreck, but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.
Voltaire
It is said that the present is pregnant with the future.
Voltaire
We are obliged to place ourselves on the level of our age before we can rise above it.
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 Jewish nation dares to display an irreconcilable hatred toward all nations, and revolts against all masters always superstitious, always greedy for the well-being enjoyed by others, always barbarous - cringing in misfortune and insolent in prosperity.
Voltaire

Voltaire
Superstition sets the whole world in flames, but philosophy douses them.
Voltaire
I have seen men incapable of the sciences, but never any incapable of virtue.
Voltaire
Every sensible man, every honorable man, must hold the Christian sect in horror. Christianity is the most ridiculous, the most absurd and bloody religion that has ever infected the world. Nothing can be more contrary to religion and the clergy than reason and common sense. If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities.
Voltaire
Persistence with patience and prayer pays with profits, prosperity and peace of mind.
Voltaire
Inspiration: A peculiar effect of divine flatulence emitted by the Holy Spirit which hisses into the ears of a few chosen of God.
Voltaire
Los Padres have everything and the people have nothing 'tis the masterpiece of reason and justice. For my part, I know nothing so divine as Los Padres who make war on Kings of Spain and Portugal and in Europe act as their confessors who here kill Spaniards and at Madrid send them to Heaven.
Voltaire
God has punished the knave, and the devil has drowned the rest.
Voltaire
Another century and there will not be a Bible on earth!
Voltaire
One day everything will be well, that is our hope. Everything's fine today, that is our illusion.
Voltaire
The malevolence of men revealed itself to his mind in all of its ugliness
Voltaire
It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.
Voltaire
Dare to think for yourself.
Voltaire
