Denis Diderot Quote

Everyone wants to have friends and no one wants to be one.

The first step towards philosophy is disbelief.

There is constant talk against the passions. They are considered the source of all human evil, but it is forgotten that they are also the source of all pleasure.

Not to repent nor to reproach others are the steps of wisdom.

The happiest man is the one who creates happiness for the greatest number of his fellow beings.

Indifference makes wise and insensitivity monsters.

Ignorance is closer to truth than prejudice.

The one who speaks to you about the faults of others, will speak to others about yours.

The martyr awaits death; the fanatic rushes to seek it.

From fanaticism to barbarism is only one step.

Love deprives those who have it of spirit, and gives it to those who lack it.
