  3. A quotation from Montaigne

    We readily acknowledge in others an advantage in courage, in bodily strength, in experience, in agility, in beauty; but an advantage in judgment we yield to no one. And the arguments that come from simple natural reasoning in others, we think we would have found if we had merely glanced in that direction.
     
    [Nous reconnoissons aysément és autres, l’advantage du courage, de la force corporelle, de l’experience, de la disposition, de la beauté: mais l’advantage du jugement; nous ne le cedons à personne: Et les raisons qui partent du simple discours naturel en autruy, il nous semble qu’il n’a tenu qu’à regarder de ce costé-là, que nous ne les ayons trouvees.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Frame (1943)]

  4. A quotation from Euripides

    MEDEA:                     Let no one think of me
    As humble or weak or passive; let them understand
    I am of a different kind: dangerous to my enemies,
    Loyal to my friends. To such a life glory belongs.
     
    [ΜΉΔΕΙΑ:μηδείς με φαύλην κἀσθενῆ νομιζέτω
    μηδ᾽ ἡσυχαίαν, ἀλλὰ θατέρου τρόπου,
    βαρεῖαν ἐχθροῖς καὶ φίλοισιν εὐμενῆ:
    810τῶν γὰρ τοιούτων εὐκλεέστατος βίος.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 807ff (431 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1963)]

  5. A quotation from Montaigne

    There is another kind of “glory”: conceiving too high an opinion of our worth. This is an undeserved feeling by which we value ourselves, and that makes us think ourselves different than we are, just as the passion of love lends beauties and graces to the object it embraces and makes those smitten by it — with their judgment blurred and altered — find what they love different, and more perfect, than it is.
     
    [Il y a une autre sorte de gloire, qui est une trop bonne opinion, que nous concevons de nostre valeur. C’est un’affection inconsideree, dequoy nous nous cherissons, qui nous represente à nous mesmes, autres que nous ne sommes. Comme la passion amoureuse preste des beautez, & des graces, au subject qu’elle embrasse ; & fait que ceux qui en sont espris, trouvent d’un jugement trouble & alteré, ce qu’ils aiment, autre & plus parfait qu’il n’est.]

    Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) French essayist
    Essays, Book 2, ch. 17 (2.17), “Of Presumption [De la Presomption]” (1578) [tr. Atkinson/Sices (2012)]

  16. A quotation from Marcus Aurelius

    Often have I marvelled how each one of us loves himself above all men, yet sets less store by his own opinion of himself than by that of everyone else.

  27. A quotation from George Washington

    Though in reviewing the incidents of my Administration I am unconscious of intentional error, I am nevertheless too sensible of my defects not to think it probable that I may have committed many errors. Whatever they may be, I fervently beseech the Almighty to avert or mitigate the evils to which they may tend. I shall also carry with me the hope that my country will never cease to view them with indulgence, and that, after forty-five years of my life dedicated to its service with an upright zeal, the faults of incompetent abilities will be consigned to oblivion, as myself must soon be to the mansions of rest.

    George Washington (1732–1799) American military leader, Founding Father, US President (1789–1797)
    Letter (1796-09-17), "Farewell Address" [with J. Madison, A. Hamilton]
