Philosophy Quote by Voltaire — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“The more often a stupidity is repeated, the more it gets the appearance of wisdom.”

“You despise books; you whose lives are absorbed in the vanities of ambition, the pursuit of pleasure or indolence; but remember that all the known world, excepting only savage nations, is governed by books.”

“Wisdom must yield to superstition's rules,”

“The discovery of what is true and the practice of that which is good are the two most important aims of philosophy.”

“He must be very ignorant for he answers every question he is asked.”

“The heart has its own reasons that reason can't understand.”

“There's only one rule that I know of, babies—God damn it, you've got to be kind.”

“When we can weave a profound understanding of human emotions with a matrix of philosophy and a touch of poetry, we can create a captivating life canvas for reflection on Love, Happiness, and Insight. (“Love and Happiness and Insight”)”

“You asked me how to get out of the finite dimensions when I feel like it. I certainly don't use logic when I do it. Logic's the first thing you have to get rid of.”

“I was at ease in everything, to be sure, but at the same time satisfied with nothing. Each joy made me desire another. I went from festivity to festivity. On occasion I danced for nights on end, ever madder about people and life. At times, late on those nights when the dancing, the slight intoxication, my wild enthusiasm, everyone’s violent unrestraint would fill me with a tired and overwhelmed rapture, it would seem to me—at the breaking point of fatigue and for a second’s flash—that at last I understood the secret; I would rush forth anew. I ran on like that, always heaped with favors, never satiated, without knowing where to stop, until the day -- until the evening rather when the music stopped and the lights went out.”

“The smallest act of kindness makes you more beautiful than any expensive dress or make up.”
