There is nothing in which a horse's power is better revealed than in a neat, clean stop.
Michel de MontaigneThe strength of any plan depends on the time. Circumstances and things eternally shift and change.
Michel de MontaigneEvery man may speak truly, but to speak methodically, prudently, and fully is a talent that few men have.
Michel de MontaigneLearning is a good medicine: but no medicine is powerful enough to preserve itself from taint and corruption independently of defects in the jar that it is kept in. One man sees clearly but does not see straight: consequently he sees what is good but fails to follow it; he sees knowledge and does not use it.
Michel de Montaigne
