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

We are all of us richer than ...

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

[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

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

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

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

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.
