Quote of The Day: Voltaire

“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.”

- Voltaire

P.S Voltaire is probably my favorite dude to pull quotes from. He dressed like a fruitcake, but he had some things to say.

Quote of The Day: Voltaire

"I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: 'O Lord, make my enemies ridiculous.' And God granted it."

- Voltaire (1694 - 1778)

P.S Voltaire is like the Lebron James of good quotes. Dude was "sonning" sons back in the day.

Quote of The Day: Voltaire

"History is a pack of lies we play on the dead."

-Voltaire (1694 - 1778)

Voltaire was the nom de plume for the French author François-Marie Arouet.

It is an anagram of his last name and was chosen by the author because he felt his family name did not sound aristocratic enough.

Voltaire, was an author, play-wright, philosopher, among other things.

He has a ton of famous quotes that mostly lampoon organized religion and its followers. Most people believe him to be an early outspoken atheist when in fact Voltaire's only gripe against religion was in its organization and dogma and not its faith.
