Oh senseless man, who cannot possibly make a worm or a flea and yet will create Gods by the dozen!
Michel de MontaigneWhen all is summed up, a man never speaks of himself without loss; his accusations of himself are always believed; his praises never.
Michel de MontaigneIf you have known how to compose your life, you have done a great deal more than the person who knows how to compose a book. You have done more than the one who has taken cities and empires.
Michel de Montaigne
