The utility of living consists not in the length of days, but in the use of time; a man may have lived long, and yet lived but a little.
Michel de MontaigneA man should think less of what he eats and more with whom he eats because no food is so satisfying as good company.
Michel de MontaigneNo one but yourself knows whether you are cowardly and cruel, or loyal and devout; others do not see you; they surmise you by uncertain conjectures; they perceive not so much your nature as your art.
Michel de Montaigne
