Voltaire
  • Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.

  • All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women.

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

  • Men use thought only as authority for their injustice, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.

  • Time, which alone makes the reputation of men, ends by making their defects respectable.
