Additional quotes by Michel de Montaigne

When I express my opinions it is so as to reveal the measure of my sight not the measure of the thing.

It is a small soul, buried beneath the weight of affairs, that does not know how to get clean away from them, that cannot put them aside and pick them up again.

If you don't know how to die, don't worry; Nature will tell you what to do on the spot, fully and adequately. She will do this job perfectly for you; don't bother your head about it.
