There is nothing which so poi...

There is nothing which so poisons princes as flattery, nor anything whereby wicked men more easily obtain credit and favor with them.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Health is a precious thing, a...

Health is a precious thing, and the only one, in truth, meriting that a man should lay out not only his time, sweat, labor and goods, but also life itself to obtain it.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Whenever a new discovery is r...

Whenever a new discovery is reported to the world, they say first, It is probably not true, Then after, when the truth of the new proposition has been demonstrated beyond question, they say, Yes, it may be true, but it is not important. Finally, when sufficient time has elapsed to fully evidence its importance, they say, Yes, surely it is important, but it is no longer new.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

There is no passion that so m...

There is no passion that so much transports men from their right judgments as anger. No one would demur upon punishing a judge with death who should condemn a criminal upon the account of his own choler; why then should fathers and pedants be any more allowed to whip and chastise children in their anger? It is then no longer correction bat revenge. Chastisement is instead of physic to children; and should we suffer a physician who should be animated against and enraged at his patient?

We are all of us richer than ...

We are all of us richer than we think we are.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

To behave rightly, we ourselv...

To behave rightly, we ourselves should never lay a hand on our servants as long as our anger lasts. Things will seem different to us when we have quieted and cooled down.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Stupidity and wisdom meet in ...

Stupidity and wisdom meet in the same centre of sentiment and resolution, in the suffering of human accidents.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

[Marriage] happens as with ca...

[Marriage] happens as with cages: the birds without despair to get in, and those within despair of getting out.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

To say less of yourself than ...

To say less of yourself than is true is stupidity, not modesty. To pay yourself less than you are worth is cowardice and pusillanimity.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Who is it that does not volun...

Who is it that does not voluntarily exchange his health, his repose, and his very life for reputation and glory? The most useless, frivolous, and false coin that passes current among us.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

As great enmities spring from...

As great enmities spring from great friendships, and mortal distempers from vigorous health, so do the most surprising and the wildest frenzies from the high and lively agitations of our souls.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

No two men ever judged alike ...

No two men ever judged alike of the same thing, and it is impossible to find two opinions exactly similar, not only in different men but in the same men at different times.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I enjoy books as misers enjoy...

I enjoy books as misers enjoy treasures, because I know I can enjoy them whenever I please.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Nor is it enough to toughen u...

Nor is it enough to toughen up his soul; you must also toughen up his muscles.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

To call out for the hand of t...

To call out for the hand of the enemy is a rather extreme measure, yet a better one, I think, than to remain in continual fever over an accident that has no remedy. But since all the precautions that a man can take are full of uneasiness and uncertainty, it is better to prepare with fine assurance for the worst that can happen, and derive some consolation from the fact that we are not sure that it will happen.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I study myself more than any ...

I study myself more than any other subject. That is my metaphysics, that is my physics.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

My life has been full of terr...

My life has been full of terrible misfortunes most of which never happened.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

In true education, anything t...

In true education, anything that comes to our hand is as good as a book: the prank of a page- boy, the blunder of a servant, a bit of table talk - they are all part of the curriculum.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Unless a man feels he has a g...

Unless a man feels he has a good enough memory, he should never venture to lie.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I put forward formless and un...

I put forward formless and unresolved notions, as do those who publish doubtful questions to debate in the schools, not to establish the truth but to seek it.
