We supplied you with a great Voltaire quote, but you can simply place your own in as well. To help, we'll post some of Voltaire's best quips: “It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets” “The longer we dwell on our misfortunes the greater is their power to harm us” “The more I read, the more I meditate; and the more I acquire, the more I am enabled to affirm that I know nothing” “Common sense is not so common.” “It is better to risk saving a guilty man than to condemn an innocent one.” “It is dangerous to be right in matters on which the established authorities are wrong” “The best government is a benevolent tyranny tempered by an occasional assassination.” “If there were no God, it would have been necessary to invent him.” “I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it” “No snowflake in an avalanche ever feels responsible.” “Our wretched species is so made that those who walk on the well-trodden path always throw stones at those who are showing a new road” “The true triumph of reason is that it enables us to get along with those who do not possess it.” “Madness is to think of too many things in succession too fast, or of one thing too exclusively” “Nature has always had more power than education” “Opinion has caused more trouble on this little earth than plagues or earthquakes” “The biggest reward for a thing well done is to have done it” “Four thousand volumes of metaphysics will not teach us what the soul is” “Truth is a fruit which should not be plucked until it is ripe.” “Doubt is uncomfortable, certainty is ridiculous.” “Many are destined to reason wrongly; others, not to reason at all, and others to persecute those who reason” “The pursuit of what is true and the practice of what is good are the two most important objects of philosophy.”
