Dreams are faithful interpreters of our inclinations; but there is art required to sort and understand them.
Michel de MontaigneThere is indeed a certain sense of gratification when we do a good deed that gives us inward satisfaction, and a generous pride that accompanies a good conscienceโฆThese testimonies of a good conscience are pleasant; and such a natural pleasure is very beneficial to us; it is the only payment that can never fail. โOn Repentance
Michel de MontaigneWe have so much ill fortune as inconstancy, or so much bad purpose as folly, we are not so full of evil as we are of inanity; we are not so wretched as we are base
Michel de Montaigne
