this is an example of the great loss many of our young generation have, because many people today and the last 2 generations, do not read Voltaire nor do they study history or philosophy. I am so glad I studied these things at college and later in the Seminary (which I later abandoned and shook loose).
I am 14 I live in Britain. I do believe in what you have said but there are some exceptions, I wish we were all alike in the way that would unite us in history and philosophy. I love Voltaire. As I love to read Alexander Pope before bed. At my school ( private school ) we study world history and European history from 1066. We study Latin read Latin literature, philosophy and culture. I see that we both wish for a time that has passed us. My favourite era is the Napoleonic wars and his grace the Duke of Wellington’s campaigns during this period. And that is why my favourite quote is: Dieu ne pas pour le gras battalions Mais pour sequi tenant le meilleur. (God is not on the side of the big battalions but of the greatest shots)
He also written over 2000 books. Maybe there's pamphlets and separated articles from those. Nevertheless, he indeed write to most of all topics ranging from arts, science, politics of his time etc. anecdotally he also drinks a lot of caffeine and love satire as tools against the priests and politicians.

the average man living back in the 1700s was way more intellectual than even some of our smartest men and women or politiicans of today. My next study will be of John Locke, and Plato.
Elipilification ... you mean God created us in his own image and we have become Gods ourselves??? That about as crazy as crazy can get... but nope .. total bollocks...
@@franceleeparis37 No sir, it is said that God created humans in his own image, and a lot of people appropriate human-like traits to God, and in a sense humanize God.

True.
Voltaire is irresistable, a genius with a brilliant sense of humor who was centuries ahead of his time.
Thanks for posting this
How can you not love this man.
I’m 60 this year and have loved him since I was 15. What an incredible, hugely courageous life he had.
@@jonp3890 Wow., great. Of which people you are? ... I'd like to do more content about him to my channel in the future.
He was amazing 👌👌
# 86 "Never fear a revolution from the intellectuals,because we are a minority "
Where did he say that?
Always fear people who call themselves intellectuals
Possibly the wisest human to ever live.
And one of the quickest witted.
Excellent

The old fellow could write, that’s for damned sure. Nobody beats him for a pithy, relevant quote, even today.
Nice thank you
If God has made man in his own image, we have returned him the favor...
Wao just thought provoking...
Eeeeeh? Explain this absurdity since you seem to understand it..
Francelee Paris I’d imagine it pertains to how God is often depicted with human-like qualities and/or appearance.

Voltaire re, enlightenment; "We look to Scotland for all our ideas of civilization.”
The Holy Roman Empire was Neither Holy, Nor Roman, Nor an Empire
Brilliant, just brilliant
Number 23 seems to be entirely relevant to todays current political climate .
Fantastic education . THESE QUOTES are way...WAY BETTER than the bible's Proverbs!
the least the transcribers of these maxims could have done is get them right!
Fake deep )) but on the other hand thanks for taking the effort to make this video ✌💗

Common sence is not so common..
