Voltaire
  • History should be written as philosophy.

  • The instruction we find in books is like fire. We fetch it from our neighbours, kindle it at home, communicate it to others, and it becomes the property of all.

  • Love is a canvas furnished by nature and embroidered by imagination.

  • Common sense is not so common.

  • All men are born with a nose and ten fingers, but no one was born with a knowledge of God.
