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
Your destiny is that of a man, your vows those of a god.
Voltaire

Voltaire
When he to whom one speaks does not understand, and he who speaks himself does not understand, that is Metaphysics.
Voltaire
Life is bristling with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to cultivate one's garden.
Voltaire

Voltaire
The comfort of the rich depends upon an abundant supply of the poor.
Voltaire
Dont think money does everything or you are going to end up doing everything for money.
Voltaire
Marriage is the only adventure open to the cowardly.
Voltaire
Everything you say should be true, but not everything true should be said.
Voltaire
And ask each passenger to tell his story, and if there is one of them all who has not cursed his existence many times, and said to himself over and over again that he was the most miserable of men, I give you permission to throw me head-first into the sea.
Voltaire
If we believe absurdities, we shall commit atrocities.
Voltaire
