Pierre Corneille Quotes

Les chrétiens n'ont qu'un Dieu, maître absolu de tout,De qui le seul vouloir fait tout ce qu'il résout;Mais, si j'ose entre nous dire ce que me semble,Les nôtres bien souvent s'accordent mal ensemble,Et, me dût leur colère écraser à tes yeux,Nous en avons beaucoup pour être de vrais dieux.
