More quotes by Michel de Montaigne
'As a man who knows how to make his education into a rule of life not a means of showing off who can control himself and obey his own principles.' The true mirror of our discourse is the course of our lives.
Michel de Montaigne
Poetry reproduces an indefinable mood that is more amorous than love itself. Venus is not so beautiful all naked, alive, and panting, as she is here in Virgil.
Michel de Montaigne
In plain truth, lying is an accursed vice. We are not men, nor have any other tie upon another, but by our word.
Michel de Montaigne
The soul that has no established aim loses itself
Michel de Montaigne
Oh senseless man, who cannot possibly make a worm or a flea and yet will create Gods by the dozen!
Michel de Montaigne
Scratching is one of nature's sweetest gratifications, and nearest at hand.
Michel de Montaigne
A person is bound to lose when he talks about himself if he belittles himself, he is believed if he praises himself, he isn't believed.
Michel de Montaigne
Rejoice in the things that are present all else is beyond thee.
Michel de Montaigne
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 de Montaigne
It is not death, it is dying that alarms me.
Michel de Montaigne
Things seem greater by imagination than they are in effect.
Michel de Montaigne
After a tongue has once got the knack of lying, it is not to be imagined how impossible almost it is to reclaim it. Whence it comes to pass, that we see some men, who are otherwise very honest, so subject to this vice.
Michel de Montaigne
Were I to live my life over again, I should live it just as I have done. I neither complain of the past, nor do I fear the future.
Michel de Montaigne
Gentleness and repose are paramount to everything else in woman.
Michel de Montaigne
It is an absolute perfection and virtually divine to know how to enjoy our being rightfully.
Michel de Montaigne
We are all of us richer than we think we are.
Michel de Montaigne
One should always have one's boots on and be ready to leave.
Michel de Montaigne
If I were of the trade, I should naturalize art as much as they artialize nature.
Michel de Montaigne
Let us a little permit nature to take her own way she better understands her own affairs than we.
Michel de Montaigne
How often, being moved under a false cause, if the person offending makes a good defense and presents us with a just excuse, are we angry against truth and innocence itself?
Michel de Montaigne
