Additional quotes by Michel de Montaigne

Upon the highest throne in the world, we are seated, still, upon our arses.

The more simply we entrust ourself to Nature the more wisely we do so. Oh what a soft and delightful pillow, and what a sane one on which to rest a well-schooled head, are ignorance and unconcern.

Whoever will be cured of ignorance, let him confess it.

Off I go, rummaging about in books for sayings which please me. - Michel de Montaigne
