Letter "D" » Denis Diderot Quotes
«Every man has his dignity. I'm willing to forget mine, but at my own discretion and not when someone else tells me to.»
Author: Denis Diderot | Keywords: discretion
«No man has received from nature the right to give orders to others. Freedom is a gift from heaven, and every individual of the same species has the right to enjoy it as soon as he is in enjoyment of his reason.»
«To attempt the destruction of our passions is the height of folly. What a noble aim is that of the zealot who tortures himself like a madman in order to desire nothing, love nothing, feel nothing, and who, if he succeeded, would end up a complete monster!»
«In any country where talent and virtue produce no advancement, money will be the national god. Its inhabitants will either have to possess money or make others believe that they do. Wealth will be the highest virtue, poverty the greatest vice. Those who have money will display it in every imaginable way. If their ostentation does not exceed their fortune, all will be well. But if their ostentation does exceed their fortune they will ruin themselves. In such a country, the greatest fortunes will vanish in the twinkling of an eye. Those who don't have money will ruin themselves with vain efforts to conceal their poverty. That is one kind of affluence: the outward sign of wealth for a small number, the mask of poverty for the majority, and a source of corruption for all.»
«Our observation of nature must be diligent, our reflection profound, and our experiments exact. We rarely see these three means combined; and for this reason, creative geniuses are not common.»
«Pithy sentences are like sharp nails which force truth upon our memory»
Author: Denis Diderot | Keywords: nails, pithy, sentences, sharp
«It is very important not to mistake hemlock for parsley, but to believe or not believe in God is not important at all»
Author: Denis Diderot | About: God, Mistakes | Keywords: hemlock, parsley
«It is not human nature we should accuse but the despicable conventions that pervert it.»
«Distance is a great promoter of admiration!»
«Justice is the first virtue of those who command, and stops the complaints of those who obey»
Author: Denis Diderot | About: Justice | Keywords: complaints
