de Montaigne

We can be knowledgeable with other men's knowledge but we cannot be wise with other men's wisdom.

The soul which has no fixed purpose in life is lost; to be everywhere, is to be nowhere.

The strangest, most generous, and proudest of all virtues is true courage.

The thing I fear most is fear.
There are some defeats more triumphant than victories.
Ignorance is the softest pillow on which a man can rest his head.
