Essays of Michel de Montaigne — Volume 12

I do not here form a statue to erect in the great square of a city, in a church, or any public place.

我在这里并不是为了在城市广场、教堂或任何公共场所塑造雕像。

I judge freely of the actions of others; I give little of my own to judge of, because they are nothing.

我自由地评判他人的行为；我很少展示自己的，因为它们微不足道。
