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.

I don't like to get in front of people.

Years ago on my radio show, I used to say, 'I'm a conservative, but I'm not in a bad mood about it.' I've always believed that civility in heavy doses is essential in self-government.

Courtesy is the one coin you can never have too much of or be stingy with.
