The worst condition of humans ...

The worst condition of humans is when they lose knowledge and control of themselves.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

In the examples that I here br...

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

Is it reasonable that even the...

Is it reasonable that even the arts should take advantage of and profit by our natural stupidity and feebleness of mind?

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

A wellborn mind that is practi...

A wellborn mind that is practiced in dealing with people makes itself thoroughly agreeable by itself. Art is nothing else but thelist and record of the productions of such minds.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

If I were of the trade, I shou...

If I were of the trade, I should naturalize art as much as they 'artialize' nature.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

To compose our character is ou...

To compose our character is our duty, not to compose books, and to win, not battles and provinces, but order and tranquillity in our conduct.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The most useful and honorable ...

The most useful and honorable science and occupation for a woman is the science of housekeeping. I know some that are miserly, very few that are good managers.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

It is an injustice that an old...

It is an injustice that an old, broken, half-dead father should enjoy alone, in a corner of his hearth, possessions that would suffice for the advancement and maintenance of many children.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

This very Rome that we behold ...

This very Rome that we behold deserves our love ...: the only common and universal city.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I agree that we should work and prolong the functions of life as far as we can, and hope that Death may find me planting my cabbages, but indifferent to him and still more to the unfinished state of my garden.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

If I were a maker of books I s...

If I were a maker of books I should compile a register, with comments, of different deaths. He who should teach people to die, would teach them to live.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Water, earth, air, fire, and t...

Water, earth, air, fire, and the other parts of this structure of mine are no more instruments of your life than instruments of your death. Why do you fear your last day? It contributes no more to your death than each of the others. The last step does not cause the fatigue, but reveals it. All days travel toward death, the last one reaches it.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Obsession is the wellspring of...

Obsession is the wellspring of genius and madness.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

We judge a horse not only by i...

We judge a horse not only by its pace on a racecourse, but also by its walk, nay, when resting in its stable.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Our speech has its weaknesses ...

Our speech has its weaknesses and its defects, like all the rest. Most of the occasions for the troubles of the world are grammatical.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Wonder is the foundation of al...

Wonder is the foundation of all philosophy; research, the progress; ignorance, the end. There is, by heavens, a strong and generous kind of ignorance that yields nothing, for honour and courage, to knowledge: an ignorance to conceive which needs no less knowledge than to conceive knowledge.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

While our pulse beats and we f...

While our pulse beats and we feel emotion, let us put off the business. Things will truly seem different to us when we have quieted and cooled down. It is passion that is in command at first, it is passion that speaks, it is not we ourselves.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Painting myself for others, I ...

Painting myself for others, I have painted my inward self with colors clearer than my original ones. I have no more made my book than my book has made me--a book consubstantial with its author, concerned with my own self, an integral part of my life; not concerned with some third-hand, extraneous purpose, like all other books.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Others form man; I tell of him...

Others form man; I tell of him, and portray a particular one, very ill-formed, whom I should really make very different from whathe is if I had to fashion him over again. But now it is done.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I seek in books only to give m...

I seek in books only to give myself pleasure by honest amusement; or if I study, I seek only the learning that treats of the knowledge of myself and instructs me in how to die well and live well.
