Others form man; I tell of hi...

Others form man; I tell of him, and portray a particular one, very ill-formed, whom I should really make very different from whathe is if I had to fashion him over again. But now it is done.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Why do people respect the pac...

Why do people respect the package rather than the man?

This very Rome that we behold...

This very Rome that we behold deserves our love ...: the only common and universal city.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

We imagine much more appropri...

We imagine much more appropriately an artisan on his toilet seat or on his wife than a great president, venerable by his demeanorand his ability. It seems to us that they do not stoop from their lofty thrones even to live.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I see men ordinarily more eag...

I see men ordinarily more eager to discover a reason for things than to find out whether the things are so.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Wonder is the foundation of a...

Wonder is the foundation of all philosophy; research, the progress; ignorance, the end. There is, by heavens, a strong and generous kind of ignorance that yields nothing, for honour and courage, to knowledge: an ignorance to conceive which needs no less knowledge than to conceive knowledge.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

No profession or occupation i...

No profession or occupation is more pleasing than the military; a profession or exercise both noble in execution (for the strongest, most generous and proudest of all virtues is true valor) and noble in its cause. No utility either more just or universal than the protection of the repose or defense of the greatness of one's country. The company and daily conversation of so many noble, young and active men cannot but be well-pleasing to you.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

We wake sleeping, and sleep w...

We wake sleeping, and sleep waking. I do not see so clearly in my sleep; but as to my being awake, I never found it clear enough and free from clouds.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

It is probable that the princ...

It is probable that the principal credit of miracles, visions, enchantments, and such extraordinary occurrences comes from the power of imagination, acting principally upon the minds of the common people, which are softer.

I have gathered a posy of other men?s flowers and only the thread that bonds them is my own.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I conceive that pleasures are...

I conceive that pleasures are to be avoided if greater pains be the consequence, and pains to be coveted that will terminate in greater pleasures.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

To forbid us anything is to make us have a mind to 't.

In my youth I studied for ostentation; later, a little to gain wisdom; now, for recreation; never for gain.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The most useful and honorable...

The most useful and honorable science and occupation for a woman is the science of housekeeping. I know some that are miserly, very few that are good managers.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

While our pulse beats and we ...

While our pulse beats and we feel emotion, let us put off the business. Things will truly seem different to us when we have quieted and cooled down. It is passion that is in command at first, it is passion that speaks, it is not we ourselves.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

In the education of children ...

In the education of children there is nothing like alluring the interest and affection; otherwise you only make so many asses laden with books.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I have never observed other effects of whipping than to render boys more cowardly, or more willfully obstinate.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

If my intentions were not to ...

If my intentions were not to be read in my eyes and voice, I should not have survived so long without quarrels and without harm, seeing the indiscreet freedom with which I say, right or wrong, whatever comes into my head.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I see several animals that li...

I see several animals that live so entire and perfect a life, some without sight, others without hearing: who knows whether to us also one, two, or three, or many other senses, may not be wanting?

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Painting myself for others, I...

Painting myself for others, I have painted my inward self with colors clearer than my original ones. I have no more made my book than my book has made me--a book consubstantial with its author, concerned with my own self, an integral part of my life; not concerned with some third-hand, extraneous purpose, like all other books.
