Let every foot have its own s...

Let every foot have its own shoe.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

If atoms do, by chance, happe...

If atoms do, by chance, happen to combine themselves into so many shapes, why have they never combined together to form a house or a slipper? By the same token, why do we not believe that if innumerable letters of the Greek alphabet were poured all over the market-place they would eventually happen to form the text of the Iliad?

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

We every day and every hour s...

We every day and every hour say things of another that we might more properly say of ourselves, could we but apply our observations to our own concerns.

Like the watermen who advance forward while they look backward.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Perhaps it is not without rea...

Perhaps it is not without reason that we attribute facility in belief and conviction to simplicity and ignorance; for it seems to me I once learned that belief was sort of an impression made on our mind, and that the softer it is the less resistant t.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

A young man ought to cross hi...

A young man ought to cross his own rules, to awake his vigor, and to keep it from growing faint and rusty. And there is no course of life so weak and sottish as that which is carried on by rule and discipline.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Persons of mean understanding...

Persons of mean understandings, not so inquisitive, nor so well instructed, are made good Christians, and by reverence and obedience, implicity believe, and abide by their belief.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The religion of my doctor or ...

The religion of my doctor or my lawyer cannot matter. That consideration has nothing in common with the functions of the friendship they owe me.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Lying is a disgraceful vice, ...

Lying is a disgraceful vice, and one that Plutarch paints in most disgraceful colors, when he says that it is "affording testimony that one first despises God, and then fears men." It is not possible more happily to describe its horrible, disgusting, and abandoned nature; for can we imagine anything more vile than to be cowards with regard to men, and brave with regard to God.

To how many blockheads of my time has a cold and taciturn demeanor procured the credit of prudence and capacity!

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Ceremony forbids us to expres...

Ceremony forbids us to express by words things that are lawful and natural, and we obey it; reason forbids us to do things unlawful and ill, and nobody obeys it.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

No man divulges his revenue, ...

No man divulges his revenue, or at least which way it comes in: but every one publishes his acquisitions.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Man (in good earnest) is a ma...

Man (in good earnest) is a marvellous vain, fickle, and unstable subject, and on whom it is very hard to form any certain and uniform judgment.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

For me, who only desire to be...

For me, who only desire to become wise, not more learned or eloquent, these logical or Aristotelian dispositions of parts are of no use.

No man is a hero to his own valet.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Those sciences which govern t...

Those sciences which govern the morals of mankind, such as Theology and Philosophy, make everything their concern: no activity is so private or so secret as to escape their attention or their jurisdiction.

The easy, gentle, and sloping...

The easy, gentle, and sloping path . . . is not the path of true virtue. It demands a rough and thorny road.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

There is no desire more natur...

There is no desire more natural than the desire of knowledge. (Il n'est desir plus naturel que le desir de connaissance)

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Most men are rich in borrowed...

Most men are rich in borrowed sufficiency: a man may very well say a good thing, give a good answer, cite a good sentence, without at all seeing the force of either the one or the other.

The receipts of cookery are swelled to a volume, but a good stomach excels them all; to which nothing contributes more than industry and temperance.
