    “In truth, knowledge is a great and very useful quality; those who despise it give evidence enough of their stupidity. Yet I do not set its value at that extreme measure that some attribute to it.”
    —Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)

    Change, as ye list, ye winds: my heart shall be
    The faithful compass that still points to thee.”
