I do not portray the thing in...

I do not portray the thing in itself. I portray the passage; not a passing from one age to another, or, as the people put it, from seven years to seven years, but from day to day, from minute to minute.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

It makes me hate accepting th...

It makes me hate accepting things that are probable when they are held up before me as infallibly true. I prefer these words which tone down and modify the hastiness of our propositions: "Perhaps, In some sort, Some, They say, I think," and the like.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Their [the Skeptics'] way of ...

Their [the Skeptics'] way of speaking is: "I settle nothing. . . . I do not understand it. . . . Nothing seems true that may not seem false." Their sacramental word is . . . , which is to say, I suspend my judgment.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

This idea is more surely unde...

This idea is more surely understood by interrogation; WHAT DO I KNOW? which I bear as my motto with the emblem of a pair of scales.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Judgement holds in me a magis...

Judgement holds in me a magisterial seat, at least it carefully tries to. It lets my feelings go their way, both hatred and friendship, even the friendship I bear myself, without being changed and corrupted by them.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Laws are maintained in credit...

Laws are maintained in credit, not because they are essentially just, but because they are laws. It is the mystical foundation of their authority; they have none other.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

It is not without good reason...

It is not without good reason, that he who has not a good memory should never take upon him the trade of lying.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Marriage can be compared to a...

Marriage can be compared to a cage: birds outside it despair to enter, and birds within, to escape.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I find no quality so easy for...

I find no quality so easy for a man to counterfeit as devotion, though his life and manner are not conformable to it; the essence of it is abstruse and occult, but the appearances easy and showy.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

No man is so exquisitely hone...

No man is so exquisitely honest or upright in living, but that ten times in his life he might not lawfully be hanged.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

What of a truth that is bound...

What of a truth that is bounded by these mountains and is falsehood to the world that lives beyond?

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The share we have in the know...

The share we have in the knowledge of truth, such as it is, has not been acquired by our own powers. God has taught ushis wonderful secrets; our faith is not of our acquiring, it is purely the gift of another's bounty.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I, who am king of the matter ...

I, who am king of the matter I treat, and who owe an accounting for it to no one, do not for all that believe myself in all I write. I often hazard sallies of my mind which I mistrust.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

God defend me from being an h...

God defend me from being an honest man according to the description which every day I see made by each man to his own glorification

Children's plays are not spor...

Children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The honor of the conquest is ...

The honor of the conquest is rated by the difficulty.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Few men are admired by their ...

Few men are admired by their servants.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The concern that some women s...

The concern that some women show at the absence of their husbands, does not arise from their not seeing them and being with them, but from their apprehension that their husbands are enjoying pleasures in which they do not participate, and which, from their being at a distance, they have not the power of interrupting.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I set forth notions that are ...

I set forth notions that are human and my own, simply as human notions considered in themselves, not as determined and decreed by heavenly ordinance.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

This notion [skepticism] is m...

This notion [skepticism] is more clearly understood by asking "What do I know?"
