It is a small soul, buried be...

It is a small soul, buried beneath the weight of affairs, that does not know how to get clean away from them, that cannot put them aside and pick them up again.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Repentance is but a denying o...

Repentance is but a denying of our will, and an opposition of our fantasies.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I have never observed other e...

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

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

Some men seem remarkable to the world in whom neither their wives nor their valets saw anything extraordinary. Few men have been admired by their servants.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

If these Essays were worthy o...

If these Essays were worthy of being judged, it might fall out, in my opinion, that they would not find much favour, either with common and vulgar minds, or with uncommon and eminent ones: the former would not find enough in them, the latter would find too much; they might manage to live somewhere in the middle region.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Our zeal works wonders, whene...

Our zeal works wonders, whenever it supports our inclination toward hatred, cruelty, ambition.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

To divert myself from a troub...

To divert myself from a troublesome fancy, it is but to run to my books; they presently fix me to them, and drive the other out of my thoughts, and do not mutiny to see that I have only recourse to them for want of other more, real, natural, and lively conveniences; they always receive me with the same kindness.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The height and value of true ...

The height and value of true virtue consists in the facility, utility, and pleasure of its exercise; so far from difficulty, that boys, as well as men, and the innocent as well as the subtle, may make it their own; and it is by order and good conduct, and not by force, that it is to be acquired.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The world always looks straig...

The world always looks straights ahead; as for me, I turn my gaze inward, I fix it there and keep it busy. Everyone looks in front of him: as for me, I look inside me: I have no business but with myself; I continually observe myself, I take stock of myself, I taste myself. Others...they always go forward; as for me, I roll about in myself.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The recognition of virtue is ...

The recognition of virtue is not less valuable from the lips of the man who hates it, since truth forces him to acknowledge it; and though he may be unwilling to take it into his inmost soul, he at least decks himself out in its trappings.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The worthiest man to be known...

The worthiest man to be known, and for a pattern to be presented to the world, he is the man of whom we have most certain knowledge. He hath been declared and enlightened by the most clear-seeing men that ever were; the testimonies we have of him are in faithfulness and sufficiency most admirable.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

We have so much ill fortune a...

We have so much ill fortune as inconstancy, or so much bad purpose as folly, we are not so full of evil as we are of inanity; we are not so wretched as we are base

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Vexations may be petty, but t...

Vexations may be petty, but they are vexations still.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The vulgar and common esteem ...

The vulgar and common esteem is seldom happy in hitting right; and I am much mistaken if, amongst the writings of my time, the worst are not those which have most gained the popular applause.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

In the examples that I here b...

In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Habit is second nature. ...

Habit is second nature.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Beauty is the true prerogativ...

Beauty is the true prerogative of women, and so peculiarly their own, that our sex, though naturally requiring another sort of feature, is never in its lustre but when puerile and beardless, confused and mixed with theirs.
