Moli'ere

Moli'ere was an important actor of his time. He was approved by King Louis XIV, and was granted a large sum of cash and a theatre. When he was a boy, he was allowed a great education, and had access to the King's courts, due to his father's occupation. His original name was Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, but later changed it to not embarass his father, being an actor an all. He wrote many plays in his time including, The Blunderer, The Pretentious Ladies, and The Doctor in Spite of Himself. These plays are what got him famous. Moli'ere was born on January 15th, 1622, and died on February 17th, 1673. Because he was an actor the church would not allow him to be buried on holy ground. But Louis pardoned this because he liked Moli'ere so much, so he was buried at the Cemetary of Saint Joseph.
The quote for today is "It is not only what we do, but also what we do not do, for which we are accountable." I agree with this quote as well simply because this is a basic thing. What he means is we are accountable for what we do, like winning the Medal of Honor. But we are also held accountable for not doing something, like witnessing a crime and not going to the police about it, if they find out that you did "nothing" then you will be charged as if you were an accomplice. I will be frank with you, don't really know how to use this quote so I guess it is something you need to just keep in mind.
The word for today is this, Tedious: which means Boring or tiresome.
Have a great day!!
