Substituting cunning to knowledge
Supposed that certain, which I only
knew to be probable
Taught me it was not so terrible to
thieve as I had imagined
That which neither women nor authors
ever pardon
The malediction of knaves is the glory
of an honest man
The conscience of the guilty would
revenge the innocent
There is nothing in this world but time
and misfortune
There is no clapping of hands before
the king
This continued desire to control me in
all my wishes
Though not a fool, I have frequently
passed for one
To make him my apologies for the
offence he had given me
True happiness is indescribable, it is
only to be felt
Trusting too implicitly to their own
innocence
Tyranny of persons who called
themselves my friends
Virtuous minds, which vice never
attacks openly
Voltaire was formed never to be (happy)
We learned to dissemble, to rebel, to
lie
What facility everything which favors
the malignity of man
When once we make a secret of anything
to the person we love
When everyone is busy, you may continue
silent
Whence comes it that even a child can
intimidate a man
Where merit consists in belief, and not
in virtue
Whole universe would be interested in
my concerns
Whose discourses began by a
distribution of millions
Wish thus to be revenged of me for
their humiliation
Without the least scruple, freely
disposing of my time
Writing for bread would soon have
extinguished my genius
Yielded him the victory, or rather
declined the contest
