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.

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