e is relative

Divinities--novelty and singularity

Do not mind people believing anything,
provided it is not true

Do their duty, and to live in peace and
sweet ignorance

Economy in pleasure is not to my taste

Emotion is infectious

Essence of freedom consists in thinking
you have it

Everything hung from an if

Exercise their reason to avoid the
misfortunes which they fear

Fanaticism, no matter of what nature,
is only the plague

Fatal desire for luxury and empty show
spoils all

Favourite passion has always been
vengeance

First motive is always self-interest

Foolish enough to write the truth

For in the night, you know, all cats

Ignorant, who talk about everything
right or wrong

Imagine that what they feel themselves
others must feel

It is only fools who complain

It's too much for honour and too little
for love

Jealousy leads to anger, and anger goes
a long way

Knowing that he would not be regretted
after his death

Last thing which we learn in all
languages is wit

Laugh out of season

Let not thy right hand know what thy
left hand doeth

Lie a sufficient number of times, one
ends by believing it

Light come, light go

Love always makes men selfish

Look on everything we don't possess as
