Michel de Montaigne

A wise man sees as much as he ought, not as much as he can.

He who establishes his argument by noise and command shows that his reason is weak.

Rejoice in the things that are present; all else is beyond thee.

Secrecy is the chastity of friendship.

When I write that I've known about something for a long time, that's not a boast. That's a confession. It's me acknowledging that I have withheld something important from the public.
