"The spirit of property doubles a man's..." - Quote by Voltaire

“Man is free at the instant he wants to be.”

“The secret of being a bore... is to tell everything.”

“In France every man is either an anvil or a hammer; he is a beater or must be beaten.”

“It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife. However little known the feelings or views of such a man may be on his first entering a neighbourhood, this truth is so well fixed in the minds of the surrounding families, that he is considered as the rightful property of someone or other of their daughters.”

“Property is organized robbery.”

“Private property...is the creature of society and is subject to the calls of that society even to the last farthing.”

“Never run away from anything. Never!”

“He cannot be happy and strong until he too lives with nature in the present, above time.”

“Conquering others takes force, conquering yourself is true strength.”
