Voltaire is a rich source of worthwhile qotes on almost any subject : eg :

It is forbidden to kill; therefore all murderers are punished unless they kill in large numbers and to the sound of trumpets.

It is hard to free fools from the chains they revere.

Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities.

Judge a man by his questions rather than his answers.

The art of medicine consists in amusing the patient while nature cures the disease.

etc !
