"The safest course is to do nothing..." - Quote by Voltaire

“Verses which do not teach men new and moving truths do not deserve to be read.”

“The more you know, the less sure you are.”

“If you want good laws, burn those you have and make new ones.”

“If we train our conscience, it kisses us while it hurts”

“Again and again I am brought up against it, and again and again I resist it: I don't want to believe it, even though it is almost palpable: the vast majority lack an intellectual conscience; indeed, it often seems to me that to demand such a thing is to be in the most populous cities as solitary as in the desert.”

“The feeling of right or wrong is the beginning of wisdom.”

“May you have plenty of wealth, you men of Ephesus, in order that you may be punished for your evil ways”

“One should never do wrong in return, nor mistreat any man, no matter how one has been mistreated by him.”

“Is it not possible that an individual may be right and a government wrong? Are laws to be enforced simply because they were made? Or declared by any number of men to be good, if they are NOT good?”
