Michel De Montaigne Quotes
And This Puts Me In Mind Of That Rich Gentleman Of Rome, Who Had Been Solicitous, With Great Expense, To Procure Men That Were Excellent In All Sorts Of Science, Whom He Had Always Attending His Person, To The End, That When Amongst His Friends Any Occasion Fell Out Of Speaking Of Any Subject Whatsoever, They Might Supply His Place, And Be Ready To Prompt Him, One With A Sentence Of Seneca, Another With A Verse Of Homer, And So Forth, Every One According To His Talent; And He Fancied This Knowledge To Be His Own, Because It Was In The Heads Of Those Who Lived Upon His Bounty; As They, Also, Do Whose Learning Consists In Having Great Libraries.
