Voltaire
Love is a canvas furnished by Nature and embroidered by imagination.
Voltaire
Go get yourself crucified and then rise on the third day.
Voltaire

Voltaire
Will is wish, and liberty is power.
Voltaire
All pleasantry should be short and it might even be as well were the serious short also.

Voltaire

Voltaire
Los Padres have everything and the people have nothing 'tis the masterpiece of reason and justice. For my part, I know nothing so divine as Los Padres who make war on Kings of Spain and Portugal and in Europe act as their confessors who here kill Spaniards and at Madrid send them to Heaven.
Voltaire
I die adoring God, loving my friends, not hating my enemies, and detesting superstition.
Voltaire
Whosoever does not know how to recognize the faults of great men is incapable of estimating their perfections.
Voltaire
Now is not the time for making new enemies.
Voltaire
It is difficult to free fools from the chains they revere.
Voltaire
The way to become boring is to say everything.
Voltaire
The flowery style is not unsuitable to public speeches or addresses, which amount only to compliment. The lighter beauties are in their place when there is nothing more solid to say but the flowery style ought to be banished from a pleading, a sermon, or a didactic work.
Voltaire
