More quotes by Voltaire
In every province, the chief occupations, in order of importance, are lovemaking, malicious gossip, and talking nonsense.
Voltaire
Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats.
Voltaire
Once your faith persuades you to believe what your intelligence declares absurd, beware, lest you likewise sacrifice your reason in the conduct of your life.
Voltaire
Life is bristling with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to cultivate one's garden.
Voltaire
The more I read, the more I acquire, the more certain I am that I know nothing.
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
A long dispute means both parties are wrong.
Voltaire

Voltaire

Voltaire
Every man is a creature of the age in which he lives and few are able to raise themselves above the ideas of the time.
Voltaire

Voltaire
It is with books as with men: a very small number play a great part.
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
Fanaticism is a monster that pretends to be the child of religion
Voltaire
Fear follows crime and is its punishment.
Voltaire
It is not more surprising to be born twice than once everything in nature is resurrection.
Voltaire
