More quotes by Denis Fonvizin

Learning in a corrupt man is a fierce weapon for evil. Education elevates only the virtuous soul.

I don't want to study, I want to get married.

Stand on ceremony, and sincerity stops.

And what is it you want to ask me? Just as long as it's not money, my master, then I can lend you anything. You know how money is nowadays: no one lends it for nothing, and for it you're not refused anything.
