TO IMAGINE THAT NEXT YEAR I WILL BE EXHIBITED AND THAT EVERYBODY IN PARIS WILL SEE ME... ITS IS KIND OF FLATTERING, ISN'T IT DEAR? - I'M JUST UNHAPPY THAT YOU WON'T BE WEARING YOUR NECK-TIE... IT LOOKS A BIT SLOPPY... IF THERE IS STILL SOME TIME, WHY DON'T YOU ASK THE SCULPTOR TO ADD ON YOUR STAND-UP COLLAR.
Honoré Daumier
Dire que je vais être prochainement exposé et que tout Paris va me voir..... c'est ça qui est flatteur, ma femme!..... - Mon ami, je suis fâché d'une chose...., c'est que tu sois représenté sans cravate, c'est bien négligé!...... s'il en est temps encore, demandes donc au sculpteur qu'il te mette au moins un faux-col.....
1858
LOOK! I JUST KILLED THIS MAGNIFICENT GROUSE! … - POOR YOU! THAT IS THE ROOSTER OF THE FARM NEXT DOOR. THAT COCK WILL COST YOU MORE THAN THIRTY FRANCS, NOT COUNTING THE PITCHFORK JABS!
Honoré Daumier
Tenez, je viens de tuer un magnifique coq de bruyère!.... -Mais, malheureux!... c'est le coq Brahma de la ferme voisine..., un coq qui vous coûtera peut-être plus de trente francs.... sans compter les coups de fourche!....

THERE'S NO DOUBT, MONSIEUR RIFLOT, THE LAW OF PETITION IS SACRED, BUT IT IS BEING ABUSED. LOOK AT THE EXAMPLE WE JUST DISCUSSED: THEY WANT TO TAX BACHELORS, SINCE THEY ARE USELESS FOR SOCIETY. I FEEL SORRY FOR ALL THE MARRIED PEOPLE.... I MUST ALSO SAY THAT I KNOW OF NO-ONE WHO HAS DONE AS MUCH FOR SOCIETY, AS I, COQUELET DID.
Honoré Daumier
Sans doute Mr. Riflot le droit de pétition est sacré; mais on en abuse! témoin celle dont vous nous parlez: imposer les célibataires comme inutiles à la population ! j'en suis faché pour les gens mariés; mais s'il faut le dire il n'en est aucun qui, plus que moi Coquelet, ait aidé à la population.

A BREACH OF TRUST. THESE VILLAINS! HOW IMMORAL TO STEAL THE CLOTHES FROM A PRISON LAWYER, WHILE HE INNOCENTLY TAKES A SWIM BENEATH NATURE'S PROTECTION. WITHOUT MY HAT, I'D HAVE TO GO HOME NAKED! WHAT TIMES ARE WE LIVING IN!
Honoré Daumier
Un abus de confiance. Les misérables!! Voler un avocat de prison qui nage sous la sauve-garde des lois naturelles et sociales! sans mon chapeau, je rentrais nu chez moi; dans quel temps vivons nous!
1841
LAGRANGE. REPUBLICAN OF YESTERYEAR. - NOT EVEN THE MOST UNRESTRAINED DEFAMATION WOULD DARE ACCUSING HIM OF TAKING ADVANTAGE OF THE HARD WORK OF THE PEOPLE. HIS SOMEWHAT UNTIDY HAIRDO IS CAUSED BY THE MOUNTAIN WINDS.
Honoré Daumier
Lagrange. Républicain de l'avant-veille. - La calomnie la plus effrénée n'osera jamais l'accuser de s'être engraissé des sueurs du peuple. Vous trouverez sans doute la chevelure de Lagrange quelque peu en désordre, mais c'est l'effet du vent de la montagne!
1848
DOCTOR ROBERT MACAIRE'S CLINIC. - THERE YOU ARE GENTLEMEN, THE SURGERY I PERFORMED WAS A FULL SUCCESS, WHILE EVERYBODY CONSIDERED IT TO BE IMPOSSIBLE. - BUT DOCTOR, THE PATIENT IS DEAD! - SO WHAT... ..SHE WOULD HAVE DIED SOONER OR LATER ANYWAY.
Honoré Daumier
Clinique du Docteur Robert-Macaire. Hé bien ! Messieurs, vous l’avez vu, cette opération qu’on disait impossible a parfaitement réussi…. – Mais, monsieur, la malade est morte…… - Qu’importe ! Elle serait bien plus morte sans l’opération.
