Voltaire

There are truths which are not for all men, nor for all times.

Men hate the individual whom they call avaricious only because nothing can be gained from him.

Time, which alone makes the reputation of men, ends by making their defects respectable.

Men use thought only as authority for their injustice, and employ speech only to conceal their thoughts.

All men are born with a nose and ten fingers, but no one was born with a knowledge of God.

All the reasonings of men are not worth one sentiment of women.

Of all religions, the Christian should of course inspire the most tolerance, but until now Christians have been the most intolerant of all men.
