My opinion is that we must lend ourselves to others and give ourselves only to ourselves. If my will happened to be prone to mortgage and attach itself, I would not last: I am too tender, both by nature and by practice.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

He that first likened glory t...

He that first likened glory to a shadow did better than he was aware of. They are both of them things excellently vain. Glory also, like a shadow, goes sometimes before the body, and sometimes in length infinitely exceeds it.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Were I to live my life over a...

Were I to live my life over again, I should live it just as I have done. I neither complain of the past, nor do I fear the future.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Whoever will imagine a perpet...

Whoever will imagine a perpetual confession of ignorance, a judgment without leaning or inclination, on any occasion whatever, hasa conception of Pyrrhonism.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The advantage of living is no...

The advantage of living is not measured by length, but by use; some men have lived long, and lived little; attend to it while you are in it. It lies in your will, not in the number of years, for you to have lived enough.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Arts and sciences are not cas...

Arts and sciences are not cast in a mould, but are found and perfected by degrees, by often handling and polishing.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

There is nothing so noble and...

There is nothing so noble and so right as to play our human life well and fitly, nor anything so difficult to learn as how to livethis life well and according to Nature.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

What am I to choose? "Choose ...

What am I to choose? "Choose what you please, as long as you choose." There you have a foolish answer, which seems to be the outcome, however, of all Dogmatism, which will not allow us to be ignorant of that which we are ignorant.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

We must learn to suffer what ...

We must learn to suffer what we cannot evade; our life, like the harmony of the world, is composed of contrary things, and one part is no less necessary than the other.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

'As a man who knows how to ma...

'As a man who knows how to make his education into a rule of life not a means of showing off; who can control himself and obey his own principles.' The true mirror of our discourse is the course of our lives.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The beginnings of all things ...

The beginnings of all things are weak and tender. We must therefore be clear-sighted in the beginnings, for, as in their budding we discern not the danger, so in their full growth we perceive not the remedy.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Nobody is exempt from saying ...

Nobody is exempt from saying stupid things, the harm is to do it presumptuously.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The most beautiful lives, to ...

The most beautiful lives, to my mind, are those that conform to the common human pattern, with order, but without miracle and without eccentricity.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

As by some might be saide of ...

As by some might be saide of me: that here I have but gathered a nosegay of strange floures, and have put nothing of mine unto it, but the thred to binde them. Certes, I have given unto publike opinion, that these borrowed ornaments accompany me; but I meane not they should cover or hide me.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Nature has with a Motherly Te...

Nature has with a Motherly Tenderness observed this, that the Action she has enjoyned us for our Necessity should be also pleasant to us, and invites us to them, not only by Reason, but also by Appetite: and ?tis Injustice to infringe her Laws.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

One man may have some special...

One man may have some special knowledge at first-hand about the character of a river or a spring, who otherwise knows only what everyone else knows. Yet to give currency to this shred of information, he will undertake to write on the whole science of physics. From this fault many great troubles spring.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

How many quarrels, and how im...

How many quarrels, and how important, has the doubt as to the meaning of this syllable "Hoc" produced for the world!

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I honor most those to whom I ...

I honor most those to whom I show least honor; and where my soul moves with great alacrity, I forget the proper steps of ceremony.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Long life, and short, are by ...

Long life, and short, are by death made all one; for there is no long, nor short, to things that are no more.

The only good histories are those that have been written by the persons themselves who commanded in the affairs whereof they write.
