The thing in the world I am most afraid of is fear, and with good reason that passion alone, in the trouble of it, exceeding all other accidents
Michel de Montaigne
There is nothing on which men are commonly more intent than on making a way for their opinions.

Michel de Montaigne
God defend me from myself.
Michel de Montaigne
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 de Montaigne
The worth of the mind consisteth not in going high, but in marching orderly.
Michel de Montaigne
A man should ever, as much as in him lieth, be ready booted to take his journey, and above all things look he have then nothing to do but with himself.
Michel de Montaigne
One may be humble out of pride.
Michel de Montaigne
Order a purge for your brain, it will there be much better employed than upon your stomach.
Michel de Montaigne
Our truth of nowadays is not what is, but what others can be convinced of just as we call money not only that which is legal, but also any counterfeit that will pass.
Michel de Montaigne
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 de Montaigne
I am myself the matter of my book.
Michel de Montaigne
