Moliere saw 345 years ahead of his time.

Two quotes from Tartuffe:

Although I am a pious man, I am not the less a man.


and

To create a public scandal is what's wicked;
To sin in private is not a sin.


To which I should add a quote attributed to Jean Baptiste Alphonse Karr -

"plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose"


(p.s., I don't speak French, but this is how it appears, and I think we can all figure it out.)
