Michel De Montaigne Quotes

"Every man bears the whole stamp of the human condition.""My trade and my art is to live.""A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.""Nothing is so firmly believed as that which we least know.""I prefer the company of peasants because they have not been educated sufficiently to reason incorrectly.""We are all framed of frailty and error let us pardon reciprocally each other's folly that is the first law of nature""The thing I fear most is fear""There is no passion so contagious as that of fear""He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak""Lend yourself to others but give yourself to yourself""The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them""There is no conversation more boring than the one where everybody agrees""On the highest throne in the world, we still sit only on our own bottom""A man who fears suffering is already suffering from what he fears""The greatest thing in the world is to know how to belong to oneself"
