More quotes by Voltaire

Voltaire

Voltaire
What is faith? Is it to believe that which is evident? No. It is perfectly evident to my mind that there exists a necessary, eternal, supreme, and intelligent being. This is no matter of faith, but of reason.
Voltaire
He who seeks truth should be of no country.
Voltaire
History is the study of the world's crime
Voltaire
Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road.
