It is an absolute and virtually divine perfection to know how to enjoy our being rightfully.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The confidence in another man's virtue is no light evidence of a man's own, and God willingly favors such a confidence.

The public weal requires that men should betray, and lie, and massacre.

The strangest, most generous, and proudest of all virtues is true courage.

The worst of my actions or con...

The worst of my actions or conditions seem not so ugly unto me as I find it both ugly and base not to dare to avouch for them.

There is little less trouble in governing a private family than a whole kingdom.

It is a sign of contraction of the mind when it is content, or of weariness. A spirited mind never stops within itself; it is always aspiring and going beyond its strength.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

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.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

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

If a man should importune me to give a reason why I loved him, I find it could no otherwise be expressed, than by making answer: because it was he, because it was I.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Even from their infancy we fra...

Even from their infancy we frame them to the sports of love: their instruction, behavior, attire, grace, learning and all their words azimuth only at love, respects only affection. Their nurses and their keepers imprint no other thing in them.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I set forth a humble and inglo...

I set forth a humble and inglorious life; that does not matter. You can tie up all moral philosophy with a common and private life just as well as with a life of richer stuff. Each man bears the entire form of man's estate.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The entire lower world was cre...

The entire lower world was created in the likeness of the higher world. All that exists in the higher world appears like an image in this lower world; yet all this is but One.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

What enriches language is its ...

What enriches language is its being handled and exploited by beautiful minds-not so much by making innovations as by expanding it through more vigorous and varied applications, by extending it and deploying it. It is not words that they contribute: what they do is enrich their words, deepen their meanings and tie down their usage; they teach it unaccustomed rhythms, prudently though and with ingenuity.

The lack of wealth is easily repaired but the poverty of the soul is irreplaceable.
