"When he who hears does not know..." - Quote by Voltaire

“War is the greatest of all crimes; and yet there is no aggressor who does not color his crime with the pretext of justice.”

“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.”

“To achieve a goal, a dream, a wish, you must plan it out for success!”

“Can anything be constant in a world which is eternally changing?”

“Probably death is the best invention of life.”

“For what is time? ... Who can even in thought comprehend it, so as to utter a word about it? ... If no one asks me, I know: If I wish to explain it to one that asketh, I know not.”

“When I hear the hypercritical quarreling about grammar and style, the position of the particles, etc., etc... I see that they forget that the first requisite and rule is that expression shall be vital and natural.”

“Lovers have a way of using this word, nothing, which implies exactly the opposite.”

“Nothing in this world is harder than speaking the truth, nothing easier than flattery.”
