A good marriage would be between a blind wife and a deaf husband.
From Michel de Montaigne
It is not death, it is dying that alarms me.
Lend yourself to others, but give yourself to yourself.
The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.
My trade and art is to live.
There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.
Rejoice in the things that are present; all else is beyond thee.
I put forward formless and unresolved notions, as do those who publish doubtful questions to debate in the schools, not to establish the truth but to seek it.
I quote others only in order the better to express myself.
Ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head.
