More quotes by Voltaire
It is lamentable, that to be a good patriot one must become the enemy of the rest of mankind.
Voltaire
The son of God is the same as the son of man the son of man is the same as the son of God. God, the father, is the same as Christ, the son Christ, the son, is the same as God, the father. This language may appear confused to unbelievers, but Christians will readily understand it.
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

Voltaire
