“The most certain sign of wisdom is cheerfulness. ”
― Michel de Montaigne

 

About this quote:

Renaissance writer Michel de Montaigne (born February 28, 1533) pioneered the personal essay. He had a lot to draw on. His father was fond of childrearing experiments—young Michel lived in isolation with a peasant family until age 3, and then was brought back home but surrounded with Latin-speaking servants.
