More quotes by Voltaire
Beware of the words internal security, for they are the eternal cry of the oppressor.
Voltaire
Every man can educate himself. It's shameful to put one's mind into the hands of those whom you wouldn't entrust with your money. Dare to think for yourself.
Voltaire
Heaven made virtue man, the appearance.
Voltaire
If you want to kill Christianity you must abolish Sunday.
Voltaire
It is not known precisely where angels dwell whether in the air, the void, or the planets. It has not been God's pleasure that we should be informed of their abode.
Voltaire
Man is free at the instant he wants to be.
Voltaire
It is fancy rather than taste which produces so many new fashions
Voltaire

It is a pity that this eloquent procedure has not survived.
Voltaire

Voltaire
The question of good and evil remains in irremediable chaos for those who seek to fathom it in reality. It is mere mental sport to the disputants, who are captives that play with their chains.
Voltaire
Being a bird ain't all about flying and shitting from high places.
Voltaire
Let us help one another to bear our burdens.
Voltaire
To succeed in chaining the multitude, you must seem to wear the same fetters.
Voltaire
If it's too silly to be said, it can always be sung.
Voltaire
History is only the pattern of silken slippers descending the stairs to the thunder of hobnailed boots climbing upward from below.
Voltaire
Tyrants have always some slight shade of virtue they support the laws before destroying them.
Voltaire
Dare to think for yourself.
Voltaire
The infinitely little have a pride infinitely great.
Voltaire
God prefers bad verses recited with a pure heart to the finest verses chanted by the wicked.
Voltaire
