More From Michel De Montaigne

The shortest way to arrive at glory should be to do that for conscience which we do for glory. and the virtue of alexander appears to me with much less vigor in his theater than that of socrates in his mean and obscure. i can easily conceive socrates in the place of alexander, but alexander in that of socrates i cannot.
Mean Vigor Way
To arrive where you are, to get from where you are not, you must go by a way wherein there is no ecstasy. in order to arrive at what you do not know you must go by a way which is the way of ignorance. in order to possess what you do not possess you must go by the way of dispossession. in order to arrive at what you are not you must go through the way in which you are not. and what you do not know is the only thing you know and what you own is what you do not own and where you are is where you are not.
Ignorance Order Way
Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.

But that's the beauty of life: time is yours to keep and to change. just a few minutes can be sufficient to carve a new road, a new track. just a few minutes, and the void is kept at bay. you will live forever with that new road inside of you, stretching away to a place suggested, barely, on the horizon. for the shortest time, shorter than the shortest second's breath, you get to stand up to infinity. but eventually, and always, infinity wins.
Life Winning Track
He that hath a blind conscience which sees nothing, a dead conscience which feels nothing, and a dumb conscience which says nothing, is in as miserable a condition as a man can be on this side of hell.
Men Dumb Sides
Peace is normally a great good, and normally it coincides with righteousness, but it is righteousness and not peace which should bind the conscience of a nation as it should bind the conscience of an individual; and neither a nation nor an individual can surrender conscience to another's keeping.
Peace Surrender Individual
