"There is only one morality, as there..." - Quote by Voltaire

“A small number of choice books are sufficient.”

“Fear could never make virtue.”

“When his highness sends a ship to Egypt, does he trouble his head whether the mice on board are at their ease or not?”

“Once you don't vote your ideals ... that has serious undermining affects. It erodes the moral basis of our democracy.”

“Have charity towards all beings. Pity those who are in distress. Love all creatures. Do not be jealous of anyone. Look not to the faults of others.”

“Hypocrisy is an homage that vice renders to virtue.”

“Numbers serve to discipline rhetoric. Without them it is too easy to follow flights of fancy, to ignore the world as it is and to remold it nearer the heart's desire.”

“There is nothing truer than physiognomy, taken in connection with manner.”

“For it is a curious fact that though human beings have such imperfect means of communication, that they can only say 'good to eat' when they mean 'beautiful' and the other way about, they will yet endure ridicule and misunderstanding rather than keep any experience to themselves.”
