Inscriptions Michel de Montaigne added on the ceiling of his library:
Τοῖς μὲν κενοῖς ἀσκοῖς τὸ πνεῦμα ἐντιθέμενον ὄγκον παρέχει, τοῖς δ’ ἀνοήτοις τὸ οἴημα. (Stobaeus) "As wind inflates empty skins, so pride inflates fools."
Omnium quae sub sole sunt sors una est (Ecclesiastes 9:3)"All things under the sun share the same fate."
Οὐδὲν μᾶλλον οὕτως ἔχει ἢ ἑτέρως (Sextus Empiricus) "Nothing is more this way than otherwise" (a foundational motto of Pyrrhonian Skepticism urging the suspension of judgment).
