If there are atheists, who is to be blamed if not the mercenary tyrants of souls who, in revolting us against their swindles, compel some feeble spirits to deny the God whom these monsters dishonour?

Voltaire 196 quotes

The Jewish nation dares to di...

The Jewish nation dares to display an irreconcilable hatred toward all nations, and revolts against all masters; always superstitious, always greedy for the well-being enjoyed by others, always barbarous - cringing in misfortune and insolent in prosperity.

Voltaire 196 quotes

It does not require great art...

It does not require great art, or magnificently trained eloquence, to prove that Christians should tolerate each other. I, however, am going further: I say that we should regard all men as our brothers. What? The Turk my brother? The Chinaman my brother? The Jew? The Siam? Yes, without doubt; are we not all children of the same father and creatures of the same God?

History is the lie commonly agreed upon.

Voltaire 196 quotes

We admit, in geometry, not on...

We admit, in geometry, not only infinite magnitudes, that is to say, magnitudes greater than any assignable magnitude, but infinite magnitudes infinitely greater, the one than the other. This astonishes our dimension of brains, which is only about six inches long, five broad, and six in depth, in the largest heads.

All pleasantry should be short; and it might even be as well were the serious short also.

Voltaire 196 quotes

What will the preachers say? .. to teach men not to persecute men: for, while a few sanctimonious humbugs are burning a few fanatics, the earth opens and swallows up all alike.

Translations increase the faults of a work and spoil its beauties.

Why are the Jews hated? It is...

Why are the Jews hated? It is the inevitable result of their laws; they either have to conquer everybody or be hated by the whole human race.

Voltaire 196 quotes

The Pride of every Jew finds ...

The Pride of every Jew finds cause to believe that the cause of their down fall is not their detestable politics, or ignorance of social graces, but the raft of God. They believe it took a miracle to undo them.

All the citizens of a state cannot be equally powerful, but they may be equally free

History is a pack of lies we play on the dead.

A fool is a person who guesses and gets it wrong, a clever man is one who guesses, regardless of time period, and gets it right.

Voltaire 196 quotes

The rude beginnings of every art acquire a greater celebrity than the art in perfection; he who first played the fiddle was looked upon as a demigod.

Voltaire 196 quotes

When we cannot use the compass of mathematics or the torch of experience...it is certain we cannot take a single step forward.

Voltaire 196 quotes

Errors flies from mouth to mouth, from pen to pen, and to destroy it takes ages.

Voltaire 196 quotes

I am a little deaf, a little blind, a little important and on top of this are two or three abominable infirmities, but nothing destroys my hope.

Voltaire 196 quotes

Our labour preserves us from three great evils -- weariness, vice, and want.

Voltaire 196 quotes

We are intelligent beings: intelligent beings cannot have been formed by a crude, blind, insensible being: there is certainly some difference between the ideas of Newton and the dung of a mule. Newton's intelligence, therefore, came from another intelligence

The Pope is an idol whose hands are tied and whose feet are kissed.
