7 Michel de Montaigne Quotes on Time

Michel de Montaigne quotes on time

11. The day of your birth leads you to death as well as to life.

12. Live as long as you please, you will strike nothing off the time you will have to spend dead.

13. Wherever your life ends, it is all there. The advantage of living is not measured by length, but by use; some men have lived long, and lived little; attend to it while you are in it. It lies in your will, not in the number of years, for you to have lived enough.

14. All of the days go toward death and the last one arrives there.

53. Age imprints more wrinkles in the mind than it does on the face.

94. Labour not after riches first, and think thou afterwards wilt enjoy them. He who neglecteth the present moment, throweth away all that he hath. As the arrow passeth through the heart, while the warrior knew not that it was coming; so shall his life be taken away before he knoweth that he hath it.

122. The value of life lies not in the length of days, but in the use we make of them... Whether you find satisfaction in life depends not on your tale of years, but on your will.
