Michel de Montaigne

Michel de Montaigne

Michel de Montaigne

Michel de Montaigne

Michel de Montaigne
I conceive that pleasures are to be avoided if greater pains be the consequence, and pains to be coveted that will terminate in greater pleasures.
Michel de Montaigne
Princes give mee sufficiently, if they take nothing from me, and doe me much good, if they doe me no hurt: it is all I require of them.
Michel de Montaigne
He loves little who loves by rule.
Michel de Montaigne
A strong imagination begetteth opportunity.
