Additional quotes by Michel de Montaigne

Arts and sciences are not cast in a mould, but are formed and perfected by degrees, by often handling and polishing, as bears leisurely lick their cubs into form.

Nature forms us for ourselves, not for others; to be, not to seem.

The world is all a carcass and vanity, The shadow of a shadow, a play And in one word, just nothing.

Il n'est si homme de bien, qu'il mette à l'examen des loix toutes ses actions et pensées, qui ne soit pendable dix fois en sa vie. - Michel de Montaigne
