Los gobiernos formados por elementos heterogéneos no son duraderos. - Molière

Arnolphe. Were you not wearied? Agnès. I am never wearied. Arnolphe. What did you do then, these nine or ten days? Agnès. Six shirts, I think, and six nightcaps also.

"Je voudrais bien savoir pourquoi les gens qui se scandalisent si fort de la comédie de Molière ne disent mot de celle de Scaramouche."

A shoemaker, in making a pair of shoes, cannot spoil a scrap of leather without having to bear the loss; but in our business we may spoil a man without its costing us a farthing. The blunders are never put down to us, and it is always the fault of the fellow who dies. The best of this profession is, that there is the greatest honesty and discretion among the dead; for you never find them complain of the physician who has killed them.
