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
History contains little beyond a list of people who have accommodate themselves with other people's property.
Voltaire
Life is bristling with thorns, and I know no other remedy than to cultivate one's garden.
Voltaire
What a heavy burden is a name that has become too famous.
Voltaire
