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.

Most people have no imagination. If they could imagine the sufferings of others, they would not make them suffer so. What separated a German mother from a French mother?

Fear follows crime and is its punishment.
