Additional quotes by Molière

...човекът, дявол да го вземе, си остава
ужасен - все ламти за почести и слава!
На тях е подчинил живота си и днес,
и те са и закон, и доблест тук, и чест!

There is nothing I detest so much as the contortions of these great time-and-lip servers, these affable dispensers of meaningless embraces, these obliging utterers of empty words, who view every one in civilities
