Marriage can be compared to a...

Marriage can be compared to a cage: birds outside it despair to enter, and birds within, to escape.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I find no quality so easy for...

I find no quality so easy for a man to counterfeit as devotion, though his life and manner are not conformable to it; the essence of it is abstruse and occult, but the appearances easy and showy.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

No man is so exquisitely hone...

No man is so exquisitely honest or upright in living, but that ten times in his life he might not lawfully be hanged.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

What of a truth that is bound...

What of a truth that is bounded by these mountains and is falsehood to the world that lives beyond?

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The share we have in the know...

The share we have in the knowledge of truth, such as it is, has not been acquired by our own powers. God has taught ushis wonderful secrets; our faith is not of our acquiring, it is purely the gift of another's bounty.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

I, who am king of the matter ...

I, who am king of the matter I treat, and who owe an accounting for it to no one, do not for all that believe myself in all I write. I often hazard sallies of my mind which I mistrust.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

God defend me from being an h...

God defend me from being an honest man according to the description which every day I see made by each man to his own glorification

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Children's plays are not spor...

Children's plays are not sports, and should be deemed as their most serious actions.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

If virtue cannot shine bright...

If virtue cannot shine bright, but by the conflict of contrary appetites, shall we then say that she cannot subsist without the assistance of vice, and that it is from her that she derives her reputation and honor?

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Those who give the first shoc...

Those who give the first shock to a state are the first overwhelmed in its ruin; the fruits of public commotion are seldom enjoyed by him who was the first mover; he only beats the water for another's net.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Life in itself is neither goo...

Life in itself is neither good nor evil, it is the place of good and evil, according to what you make it.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Each person calls barbarism w...

Each person calls barbarism whatever is not his or her own practice.... We may call Cannibals barbarians, in respect to the rulesof reason, but not in respect to ourselves, who surpass them in every kind of barbarity.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

He was doubtless an understan...

He was doubtless an understanding Fellow that said, there was no happy Marriage but betwixt a blind Wife and a deaf Husband.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

For among other things he had...

For among other things he had been counseled to bring me to love knowledge and duty by my own choice, without forcing my will, and to educate my soul entirely through gentleness and freedom.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

To make judgements about grea...

To make judgements about great and lofty things, a soul of the same stature is needed; otherwise we ascribe to them that vice which is our own.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Glory consists of two parts: ...

Glory consists of two parts: the one in setting too great a value upon ourselves, and the other in setting too little a value upon others.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

If to take up books were to t...

If to take up books were to take them in, and if to see them were to consider them, and to run through them were to grasp them, I should be wrong to make myself out quite as ignorant as I say I am.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

Now, of all the benefits that...

Now, of all the benefits that virtue confers upon us, the contempt of death is one of the greatest.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

The concern that some women s...

The concern that some women show at the absence of their husbands, does not arise from their not seeing them and being with them, but from their apprehension that their husbands are enjoying pleasures in which they do not participate, and which, from their being at a distance, they have not the power of interrupting.

Michel Eyquem De Montaig 1193 quotes

This notion [skepticism] is more clearly understood by asking "What do I know?"
