Happy the man who has regulated his needs in such just measure that his wealth can satisfy them without his care and trouble...and without it interrupting his pursuit of other occupations better suited to him...each man is as well or as badly off as he thinks he is.

Up next for reading. Growing up, I was fascinated by maps.

Anger at things that happen shows small wit;
For all our wrath concerns them not a bit.

Complete Works | Michel de Montaigne

Francis Bacon once said that "...some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed, and some few to be chewed and digested; that is, some books are to be read only in parts; others to be read, but not curiously; and some few are to be read wholly, and with diligence and attention."

I believe I have embarked on a work of the third type, and I know it will take a long while to finish. But when that day comes, that book will truly be mine.

We owe subjection...to all kings, for that concerns their office; but we do not owe esteem... Let us make this concession to the political order: to suffer them patiently if they are unworthy, by commending their indifferent actions if their authority needs our support. But, our dealings over, it is not right to deny to justice and to our liberty the expression of our true feelings.
