A word from Montaigne

Bumped into a quote from Montaigne: “The awful thing about life is this: Everyone has his reasons.” It's also funny how, the longer you know someone, the more you understand their justifications and the more acceptable what they do becomes. That's why my golden rule remains: "Mind the company you keep, sooner or later you will behave like them." But Montaigne says it sooo much better.
