Additional quotes by Michel de Montaigne

Признаваться в незнании, на мой взгляд, одно из лучших и вернейших доказательств наличия разума.

Even from their infancy we frame them to the sports of love: their instruction, behavior, attire, grace, learning and all their words azimuth only at love, respects only affection. Their nurses and their keepers imprint no other thing in them.

We must not attach knowledge to the mind, we have to incorporate it there.
