All that is very well but let us cultivate our garden.We are living in the “best of all possible worlds” and everything that happens is “all for the best”.

Ultimately, all is not for the best, but throughout his journey Candide discovers the meaning of life.Voltaire, pen name of François-Marie Arouet, was a French Enlightenment writer, historian, and philosopher famous for his wit and satirical criticisms. His best known work is his satirical novel Candide. He was also an outspoken advocate of civil liberties and religious tolerance.
