Michel de Montaigne

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

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

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

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.

Secrecy is the chastity of friendship.
