Michel de Montaigne (Lord Michel Eyquem de Montaigne)We only labor to stuff the memory, and leave the conscience and the understanding unfurnished and void. When I play with my cat, who knows if I am not a pastime to her more than she is to me? When I play with my cat, who knows whether she is not amusing herself with me more than I with her. Wherever your life ends, it is all there. The advantage of living is not measured by length, but by use; some men have lived long, and lived little; attend to it while you are in it. It lies in your will, not in the number of years, for you to have lived enough. Wit is a dangerous weapon, even to the possessor, if he knows not how to use it discreetly. |
