Socrates thought and so do I that the wisest theory about the gods is no theory at all.
Michel de MontaigneDon't discuss yourself, for you are bound to lose; if you belittle yourself, you are believed; if you praise yourself, you are disbelieved.
Michel de MontaigneIn true friendship, in which I am expert, I give myself to my friend more than I draw him to me. I not only like doing him good better than having him do me good, but also would rather have him do good to himself than to me; he does me most good when he does himself good.
Michel de Montaigne
