Tidbits from Montaigne 57


Not because Socrates said so, but because it is in truth my own disposition—and perchance to some excess—I look upon all men as my compatriots, and embrace a Pole as a Frenchman, making less account of the national than of the universal and common bond. 

—Michel de Montaigne, Essays 3.9
