More quotes by Michel de Montaigne
They make me hate things that are likely, when they would impose them upon me as infallible.
I do not speak the minds of others except to speak my own mind better.
What of a truth that is bounded by these mountains and is falsehood to the world that lives beyond?
God's justice and His power are inseparable; 'tis in vain we invoke His power in an unjust cause.
Man is certainly stark mad; he cannot make a worm, and yet he will be making gods by dozens.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
