Michel de Montaigne Conjecture Quotations

It is putting a very high price on one's conjectures to have someone roasted alive on their account.

Other people do not see you at all, but guess at you by uncertain conjectures.

No one but yourself knows whether you are cowardly and cruel, or loyal and devout; others do not see you; they surmise you by uncertain conjectures; they perceive not so much your nature as your art.
