In this present that God has made us, there is nothing unworthy our care; we stand accountable for it even to a hair; and is it not a commission to man, to conduct man according to his condition; it is express, plain, and the very principal one, and the Creator has seriously and strictly prescribed it to us.
—Michel de Montaigne, Essays 3.13
