More quotes by Michel de Montaigne
Learning must not only lodge with us: we must marry her.
Michel de Montaigne
If I were of the trade, I should naturalize art as much as they artialize nature.
Michel de Montaigne
Friendship is the highest degree of perfection in society.
Michel de Montaigne
It is a human tendency to measure truth and error by our capacity.
Michel de Montaigne
In my opinion it is the happy living, and not, as Antisthenes said, the happy lying, in which human happiness consists.
Michel de Montaigne
My library is my kingdom, and here I try to make my rule absolute-shutting off this single nook from wife, daughter and society. Elsewhere I have only a verbal authority, and vague. Unhappy is the man, in my opinion, who has no spot at home where he can be at home to himself-to court himself and hide away.
Michel de Montaigne
One may be humble out of pride.
Michel de Montaigne
There is a huge gulf between the man who follows the conventions and laws of his country and the man who sets out to regiment them and to change them.
Michel de Montaigne
When I quote others I do so in order to express my own ideas more clearly.
Michel de Montaigne
Words repeated again have as another sound, so another sense.
Michel de Montaigne
Men of simple understanding, little inquisitive and little instructed, make good Christians.
Michel de Montaigne
Greatness of soul consists not so much in soaring high and in pressing forward, as in knowing how to adapt and limit oneself.
Michel de Montaigne
Judgement can do without knowledge: but not knowledge without judgement.
Michel de Montaigne
We seek and offer ourselves to be gulled.
Michel de Montaigne
It's not victory if it doesn't end the war.
Michel de Montaigne
A woman is no sooner ours than we are no longer hers.
Michel de Montaigne
There are truths on this side of the Pyrenees which are falsehoods on the other
Michel de Montaigne
It is a thorny undertaking, and more so than it seems, to follow a movement so wandering as that of our mind, to penetrate the opaque depths of its innermost folds, to pick out and immobilize the innumerable flutterings that agitate it.
Michel de Montaigne
Difficulty is a coin the learned make use of like jugglers, to conceal the inanity of their art.
Michel de Montaigne
It is commonly seene by experience, that excellent memories do rather accompany weake judgements.
Michel de Montaigne
