Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.
From Voltaire
Let the punishments of criminals be useful. A hanged man is good for nothing; a man condemned to public works still serves the country, and is a living lesson.
When it is a question of money, everybody is of the same religion.
Nature has always had more force than education.
There are truths which are not for all men, nor for all times.
All men are born with a nose and five fingers, but no one is born with a knowledge of God.
Better is the enemy of good.
The public is a ferocious beast; one must either chain it or flee from it.
Originality is nothing but judicious imitation. The most original writers borrowed one from another.
If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.
