More quotes by Michel de Montaigne
It is not death, it is dying that alarms me.
Michel de Montaigne
I am one of those who hold that poetry is never so blithe as in a wanton and irregular subject.
Michel de Montaigne
True freedom is to have power over oneself for everything.
Michel de Montaigne
A man has need of tough ears to hear himself fairly judged.
Michel de Montaigne
My home...It is my retreat and resting place from wars, I try to keep this corner as a haven against the tempest outside, as I do another corner in my soul.
Michel de Montaigne
I agree that we should work and prolong the functions of life as far as we can, and hope that Death may find me planting my cabbages, but indifferent to him and still more to the unfinished state of my garden.
Michel de Montaigne
Stupidity and wisdom meet in the same centre of sentiment and resolution, in the suffering of human accidents.
Michel de Montaigne
The perpetual work of your life is but to lay the foundation of death.
Michel de Montaigne
Once conform, once do what others do because they do it, and a kind of lethargy steals over all the finer senses of the soul.
Michel de Montaigne
The share we have in the knowledge of truth, such as it is, has not been acquired by our own powers. God has taught ushis wonderful secrets our faith is not of our acquiring, it is purely the gift of another's bounty.
Michel de Montaigne
~The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them ~
Michel de Montaigne
There is as much difference between us and ourselves as there is between us and others.
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
Order a purge for your brain, it will there be much better employed than upon your stomach.
Michel de Montaigne
If I were a maker of books I should compile a register, with comments, of different deaths. He who should teach people to die, would teach them to live.
Michel de Montaigne
A man must keep a little back shop where he can be himself without reserve. In solitude alone can he know true freedom.
Michel de Montaigne
Petty vexations may at times be petty, but still they are vexations. The smallest and most inconsiderable annoyances are the most piercing. As small letters weary the eye most, so the smallest affairs disturb us most.
Michel de Montaigne
I know well what I am fleeing from but not what I am in search of.
Michel de Montaigne
Diogenes was asked what wine he liked best and he answered as I would have done when he said, Somebody else's.
Michel de Montaigne
Tis faith alone that vividly and certainly comprehends the deep mysteries of our religion.
Michel de Montaigne
