Voltaire
I believe that there never was a creator of a philosophical system who did not confess at the end of his life that he had wasted his time. It must be admitted that the inventors of the mechanical arts have been much more useful to men that the inventors of syllogisms. He who imagined a ship towers considerably above him who imagined innate ideas.
Voltaire

Voltaire
The passions are the winds which fill the sails of the vessel they sink it at times, but without them it would be impossible to make way.
Voltaire
Men use thought only as authority for their injustice, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.
Voltaire
History is the recital of facts represented as true. Fable, on the other hand, is the recital of facts represented as fiction.
Voltaire
Once your faith persuades you to believe what your intelligence declares absurd, beware, lest you likewise sacrifice your reason in the conduct of your life.
Voltaire
It is fancy rather than taste which produces so many new fashions
Voltaire
Providence has given us hope and sleep as a compensation for the many cares of life.
Voltaire
