Voltaire
Almost all life depends on probabilities.
Voltaire

Voltaire
My life's dream has been a perpetual nightmare.
Voltaire

Voltaire
It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.
Voltaire

Voltaire
To succeed in the world it is not enough to be stupid, you must also be well-mannered.
Voltaire
Every abuse ought to be reformed, unless the reform is more dangerous than the abuse itself.
Voltaire
All styles are good except the tiresome kind.
Voltaire
God created woman to tame man.
Voltaire
It would be easier to subjugate the entire universe through force than the minds of a single village.
Voltaire
One always begins with the simple, then comes the complex, and by superior enlightenment one often reverts in the end to the simple. Such is the course of human intelligence.
Voltaire
The road to the heart is the ear
Voltaire
Tears are the silent language of grief.
Voltaire
Everything can be borne except contempt.
Voltaire
Man is not born wicked he becomes so, as he becomes sick.
Voltaire
Who are you, Nature? I live in you for fifty years I have been seeking you, and I have not found you yet.
Voltaire
It has taken seas of blood to drown the idol of despotism, but the English do not think they bought their laws too dearly.
Voltaire
