VOLTAIRE.......

 

Voltaire...and the thieves.

 In life there are two types of thieves:

1-The common thief : this is the one who steals your money, your wallet, your umbrella, etc.

 2 - The political thief is the one who steals your future, your dreams, your knowledge, your salary, your

education, your health, your strength, your smile, etc...

 The big difference between these two types of thieves is that the common thief chooses you to steal your property.

While you choose the political thief to steal from you.

 And the other big difference, which is not the least:

a. It is that the common thief is hunted by the police.

b. while the political thief is most often protected by a police escort....

Voltaire was a versatile and and prolific writer and philosopher, satirist and historian, producing works in almost every literary form. Famous for his wit and his criticism of the establishment , he was an advocate of freedom of speech, freedom of religion and separation of church and state, his short few words are often very factual and still applicable to our modern times.

As always, my many thanks to all.
