Michel de Montaigne Quotes About Heels

Quotes about: Heels

• I have ever loved to repose myself, whether sitting or lying, with my heels as high or higher than my head.

  Michel de Montaigne

  Lying, Sitting, Higher

  Michel de Montaigne (1849). “Works: Comprising His Essays, Letters, and Journey Through Germany and Italy; with Notes, Notices, Etc”, p.535

• Fear sometimes adds wings to the heels, and sometimes nails them to the ground, and fetters them from moving.

  Michel de Montaigne

  Fear, Moving, Wings

  Michel de Montaigne (1856). “The Works of Michael de Montaigne: Comprising His Essays, Letters, and Journey Through Germany and Italy”, p.50

• We commend a horse for his strength, and sureness of foot, and not for his rich caparisons; a greyhound for his share of heels, not for his fine collar; a hawk for her wing, not for her jesses and bells. Why, in like manner, do we not value a man for what is properly his own? He has a great train, a beautiful palace, so much credit, so many thousand pounds a year, and all these are about him, but not in him.
