The first missionary was the first شیادی to hit the first idiot. –Voltaire

I had written this phrase in Persian from one or two places, which has been quoted in several ways, including as the first prophet and the first cleric, and I have been asked about its source.

This page in English So come:

The first clergyman was the first rascal who puts the first fool. –Voltaire
نخستین روحانی بود که نخستین احمق را دیدار کرد رذلی نخستین!

در زبان فرانسوی اینطور پیدا کردم:

The first church was the first crook who met the first fool.
The religion of the same started when the first finds the first trickster fool!
