More quotes by Michel de Montaigne
Love to his soul gave eyes he knew things are not as they seem. The dream is his real life the world around him is the dream.
Michel de Montaigne
It is fear that I stand most in fear of, in sharpness it exceeds every other feeling.
Michel de Montaigne
We only labor to stuff the memory, and leave the conscience and the understanding unfurnished and void.
Michel de Montaigne
Gentleness and repose are paramount to everything else in woman.
Michel de Montaigne
The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself.
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
To die is not to play a part in society it is the act of a single person. Let us live and laugh among our friends let us die and sulk among strangers.
Michel de Montaigne
The oldest and best known evil was ever more supportable than one that was new and untried.
Michel de Montaigne
Cowardice is the mother of cruelty.
Michel de Montaigne
Marriage can be compared to a cage: birds outside it despair to enter, and birds within, to escape.
Michel de Montaigne
Every man bears the whole stamp of the human condition.
Michel de Montaigne
For table-talk, I prefer the pleasant and witty before the learned and the grave in bed, beauty before goodness.
Michel de Montaigne
That is why Bias jested with those who were going through the perils of a great storm with him and calling on the gods for help: Shut up, he said, so that they do not realize that you are here with me.
Michel de Montaigne
I do not teach. I relate.
Michel de Montaigne
It is probable that the principal credit of miracles, visions, enchantments, and such extraordinary occurrences comes from the power of imagination, acting principally upon the minds of the common people, which are softer.
Michel de Montaigne
Learning must not only lodge with us: we must marry her.
Michel de Montaigne
The body enjoys a great share in our being, and has an eminent place in it. Its structure and composition, therefore, are worthy of proper consideration.
Michel de Montaigne
So it is with minds. Unless you keep them busy with some definite subject that will bridle and control them, they throw themselves in disorder hither and yon in the vague field of imagination... And there is no mad or idle fancy that they do not bring forth in the agitation.
Michel de Montaigne
I see men ordinarily more eager to discover a reason for things than to find out whether the things are so.
Michel de Montaigne
Writing does not cause misery. It is born of misery.
Michel de Montaigne
