More From Voltaire
- "The flowery style is not unsuitable to public speeches or addresses, which amount only to compliment. The lighter beauties are in their place when there is nothing more solid to say; but the flowery style ought to be banished from a pleading, a sermon, or a didactic work."
- "Satire lies about literary men while they live and eulogy lies about them when they die."
- "Tears are the silent language of grief."

- "Anyone can count the seeds in an apple, but only God can count the number of apples in a seed."― Robert H. Schuller
