Text Quotes
The entire lower world was created in the likeness of the higher world. All that exists in the higher world appears like an image in this lower world; yet all this is but One (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
The world is all a carcass and vanity, The shadow of a shadow, a play And in one word, just nothing (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
We are Christians by the same title as we are natives of Perigord or Germany (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
No man divulges his revenue, or at least which way it comes in: but every one publishes his acquisitions (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
A man is not hurt so much by what happens, as by his opinion of what happens (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
We only labor to stuff the memory, and leave the conscience and the understanding unfurnished and void (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
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 Quotes)
It should be noted that children’s games are not merely games. One should regard them as their most serious activities (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
The worthiest man to be known, and for a pattern to be presented to the world, he is the man of whom we have most certain knowledge. He hath been declared and enlightened by the most clear-seeing men that ever were; the testimonies we have of him are in faithfulness and sufficiency most admirable (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
All other knowledge is hurtful to him who has not honesty and good-nature (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
What enriches language is its being handled and exploited by beautiful minds-not so much by making innovations as by expanding it through more vigorous and varied applications, by extending it and deploying it. It is not words that they contribute: what they do is enrich their words, deepen their meanings and tie down their usage; they teach it unaccustomed rhythms, prudently though and with ingenuity (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
Any time and any place can be used to study: his room, a garden, is table, his bed; when alone or in company; morning and evening. His chief study will be Philosophy, that Former of good judgement and character who is privileged to be concerned with everything (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
In his commerce with men I mean him to include- and that principally- those who live only in the memory of books. By means of history he will frequent those great souls of former years. If you want it to be so, history can be a waste of time; it can also be, if you want it to be so, a study bearing fruit beyond price (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
There are truths on this side of the Pyrenees which are falsehoods on the other (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
But as Nature is the best guide, teaching must be the development of natural inclinations, for which purpose the teacher must watch his pupil and listen to him, not continually bawl words into his ears as if pouring water into a funnel. Good teaching will come from a mind well made rather than well filled (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The daughter-in-law of Pythagoras said that a woman who goes to bed with a man ought to lay aside her modesty with her skirt, and put it on again with her petticoat (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
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 Quotes)
The beginnings of all things are weak and tender. We must therefore be clear-sighted in the beginnings, for, as in their budding we discern not the danger, so in their full growth we perceive not the remedy (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
And truly Philosophy is but sophisticated poetry. Whence do those ancient writers derive all their authority but from the poets? (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
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 Quotes)
My trade and my art is living. He who forbids me to speak about it according to my sense, experience, and practice, let him orderthe architect to speak of buildings not according to himself but according to his neighbor; according to another man’s knowledge, not according to his own (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
Wonder is the foundation of all philosophy; research, the progress; ignorance, the end. There is, by heavens, a strong and generous kind of ignorance that yields nothing, for honour and courage, to knowledge: an ignorance to conceive which needs no less knowledge than to conceive knowledge (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
Custom is a violent and treacherous school mistress. She, by little and lithe, slyly and unperceived, slips in the foot of her authority; but having by this gentle and humble beginning, with the benefit of time, fixed and established it, she then unmasks a furious and tyrannic countenance, against which we have no more the courage or the power so much as to lift up our eyes (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
Books are pleasant, but if by being over-studious we impair our health and spoil our good humour, two of the best things we have, let us give it over. I, for my part, am one of those who think no fruit derived from them can recompense so great a loss (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
There are few men who dare to publish to the world the prayers they make to Almighty God (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
There is power in ambition, pleasure in luxury...but envy can gain nothing but vexation. (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
Man is the sole animal whose nudities offend his own companions, and the only one who, in his natural actions, withdraws and hides himself from his own kind. (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
There is no such thing as an altogether ugly woman - nor altogether beautiful (Michel De Montaigne Quotes)
