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.

Well, I actually wrote her a letter a couple of days ago congratulating her. The tone I tried to convey in the letter is, look, you are a part of a great American historical process.

A myth is a lie that conceals or reveals a truth. But if it reveals even a strand of history or truth, that's what gets my adrenaline going.

Justice consists in doing no injury to men; decency in giving them no offense.
