QUOTES BY VOLTAIRE-GATHERED BY SIMRAN KHURANA

Francois-Marie Arouet, more famously known as Voltaire, was a French philosopher, essayist, and writer. He actively struggled for civil liberties such as free trade and the practice of religion. Voltaire was a man ahead of times. His views, being unorthodox, often invited the wrath of French aristocracy. When you read these Voltaire quotations, you will be struck by the simplicity and sincerity of his words.


Appreciation

Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

Determination

Chance is a word void of sense; nothing can exist without a cause.

Responsibility

Each player must accept the cards that life deals him or her. But once in hand one must decide how to play the cards in order to win the game.

Belief

Faith consists in believing when it is beyond the power of reason to believe.

Friendship

I don't agree with a word you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it.

Adventure

If we do not find anything very pleasant, at least we shall find something new.

Integrity

Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.

Love

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

Kindness
Love truth, and pardon error.

Health

Rest is a good thing, but boredom is its brother.

Courage

Stand upright, speak thy thoughts, declare the truth thou hast, that all may share; be bold, proclaim it everywhere. They only live who dare.
