Michel De Montaigne Quotes

If The Pupil Proves To Be Of So Perverse A Disposition That He Would Rather Listen To Some Idle Tale Than To The Account Of A Glorious Voyage Or To A Wise Conversation, When He Hears One; If He Turns Away From The Drum-beat That Awakens Young Ardour In His Comrades, To Listen To Another Tattoo That Summons Him To A Display Of Juggling; If He Does Not Fervently Feel It To Be Pleasanter And Sweeter To Return From A Wrestling-match, Dusty But Victorious, With The Prize In His Hand, Than From A Game Of Tennis Or A Ball, I Can See No Other Remedy That For His Tutor To Strangle Him Before It Is Too Late, If There Are No Witnesses.
