The confidence in another man's virtue is no light evidence of a man's own, and God willingly favors such a confidence.
From Michel de Montaigne
A wise man never loses anything, if he has himself.
Any person of honor chooses rather to lose his honor than to lose his conscience.
There is perhaps no more obvious vanity than to write of it so vainly.
Valor is stability, not of legs and arms, but of courage and the soul.
Those who have compared our life to a dream were right... we were sleeping wake, and waking sleep.
One may be humble out of pride.
We can be knowledgable with other men's knowledge but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.
Age imprints more wrinkles in the mind than it does on the face.
If a man should importune me to give a reason why I loved him, I find it could no otherwise be expressed, than by making answer: because it was he, because it was I.
