More quotes by Voltaire
Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same.
Voltaire
The perfect is the enemy of the good.
Voltaire
Religion may be purified. This great work was begun two hundred years ago: but men can only bear light to come in upon them by degrees.
Voltaire
Where there is friendship, there is our natural soil.
Voltaire
It is with books as with the fires of our grates, everybody borrows a light from his neighbor to kindle his own, which in turn is communicated to others, and each partakes of all.
Voltaire
Every one goes astray, but the least imprudent are they who repent the soonest.
Voltaire
So it is the human condition that to wish for the greatness of one's fatherland is to wish evil to one's neighbors. The citizen of the universe would be the man who wishes his country never to be either greater or smaller, richer or poorer.
Voltaire
Change everything except your loves.
Voltaire
It is as impossible to translate poetry as it is to translate music.
Voltaire
God created woman to tame man.
Voltaire
I have no morals, yet I am a very moral person
Voltaire
The greatest consolation in life is to say what one thinks.
Voltaire
Men, generally going with the stream, seldom judge for themselves, and purity of taste is almost as rare as talent.
Voltaire
Men use thought only to justify their wrong doings, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.
Voltaire
A little evil is often necessary for obtaining a great good.
Voltaire
The institution of religion exists only to keep mankind in order, and to make men merit the goodness of God by their virtue. Everything in a religion which does not tend towards this goal must be considered foreign or dangerous.
Voltaire
It is not the answers you give, but the questions you ask.
Voltaire
Men who have seen life and death... as an unbroken continuum, the swinging pendulum, have been able to move as freely into death as they walked through life. Socrates went to the grave almost perplexed by his companions' tears.
Voltaire
The Holy Roman Empire is neither Holy, nor Roman, nor an Empire.
Voltaire
A fool is a person who guesses and gets it wrong, a clever man is one who guesses, regardless of time period, and gets it right.
Voltaire
