Love truth, but pardon error
French Enlightenment writer, historian and philosopher famous for his wit, his criticism of Christianity, especially the Roman Catholic Church, and his advocacy of freedom of religion and speech.
The secret of being a bore is to tell everything
The most important decision you make is to be in a good mood
God is a circle whose center is everywhere and circumference nowhere
Dare to think for yourself
Every man is guilty of all the good he did not do
I don’t know where I am going, but I am on my way
Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world. Today I am wise, so I am changing myself
We are not rich by what we possess but by what we can do without
To write well, express yourself like the common people, but think like a wise man.
Others have seen what is and asked why. I have seen what could be and asked why not
Penicillin sat on a shelf for ten years while I was called a quack
Compared to the pleasure given by granting pardon, the pleasure given by exacting revenge is very faint indeed.
