I f we do not find anything very pleasant, at least we shall find something new. W eakness on both sides is, the motto of all quarrels. A ll kinds are good except the kind that bores you. C ommon sense is not so common. O ne of the chief misfortunes of honest people is that they are cowardly. I n my life, I have prayed but one prayer: oh Lord, make my enemies ridiculous. And God granted it. T he best is the enemy of the good. W e are all full of weakness and errors; let us mutually pardon each other our follies it is the first law of nature.

Extractions: Is That A Fact? Voltaire wrote, .... In early 2002, a friend e-mailed me. He asked for help in tracking down a quotation. In part he wrote, I'm getting stumped and can't seem to find what I need on the internet. There is a famous quotation that I can only paraphrase: "I disagree with what you have to say but will fight to the death to protect your right to say it." Do you have the actual quotation and the author (and maybe the year)? It seemed like an easy task, just visit a quotations web site and "Voila!". It turned out to be a bit more interesting than that. Here is what my search revealed. The Recording Industry Association ( http://web.archive.org/web/20021020063641/http://www.riaa.com/Freedom-History.cfm ) attributes a quote to Voltaire, and states it as, "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Another version (http://www.tdstelme.net/~westin/fspeech.htm), attributed to "some Admiral" by a basic training drill sergeant, said, "I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend with my life your RIGHT to say it." The person who put up this page (Larry Westin), writes a little further down, that he later came to know it was from Voltaire.

http://www.wondersmith.com/scifi/voltaire.htm

Extractions: Biographical notes by Blake Wilfong "I disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it." Voltaire was the nom de plume of Francois Marie Arouet (1694-1778). One of the most famous French writers, his works embrace almost every branch of literaturepoetry, drama, romance, history, philosophy, and science. The years between his birth and death overlapped those of famous early scientists such as Sir Isaac Newton, Anton van Leeuwenhoek, Edmund Halley, Joseph Priestly, and Benjamin Franklin; Voltaire wrote SF at a time when the crucial scientific foundations for it had scarcely been laid. He was eminently qualified; one of his own projects was a translation of Newton's Principia into French. Alas, though some of Voltaire's works contain elements of the bizarre and the fantastic, few qualify as even borderline sci-fi. Yet "Micromegas" (1752) is such a shining exception that for this single tale Voltaire deserves credit for inventing the science fiction short story, and possibly science fiction itself. Voltaire's writings brought him fame and fortune, but, like those of his character Micromegas, also brought trouble. His advocacy of freedom of speech and religion, along with attacks on the Church and the French nobility, resulted in two prison terms in the Bastille and years of exile from France. Yet Voltaire's works eventually catalyzed the French Revolution, and secured his lasting memory as a hero of all the free world.

http://www.fordham.edu/halsall/mod/1778voltaire-newton.html

Extractions: from the Letters on the English or Lettres Philosophiques, c. 1778 Introduction Letter XIV : On Descartes And Sir Isaac Newton A Frenchman who arrives in London, will find philosophy, like everything else, very much changed there. He had left the world a plenum, and he now finds it a vacuum. At Paris the universe is seen composed of vortices of subtile matter; but nothing like it is seen in London. In France, it is the pressure of the moon that causes the tides; but in England it is the sea that gravitates towards the moon; so that when you think that the moon should make it flood with us, those gentlemen fancy it should be ebb, which very unluckily cannot be proved. For to be able to do this, it is necessary the moon and the tides should have been inquired into at the very instant of the creation. You will observe farther, that the sun, which in France is said to have nothing to do in the affair, comes in here for very near a quarter of its assistance. According to your Cartesians, everything is performed by an impulsion, of which we have very little notion; and according to Sir Isaac Newton, it is by an attraction, the cause of which is as much unknown to us. At Paris you imagine that the earth is shaped like a melon, or of an oblique figure; at London it has an oblate one. A Cartesian declares that light exists in the air; but a Newtonian asserts that it comes from the sun in six minutes and a half. The several operations of your chemistry are performed by acids, alkalies and subtile matter; but attraction prevails even in chemistry among the English.
