About this quote
From the essay That a Man is Soberly to Judge of the Divine Ordinances (Book I, chapter 31 in Charles Cotton's translation, revised by W. C. Hazlitt, 1877), part of a longer sentence that goes on to say that no people are so confident as those who entertain us with fables. Montaigne wrote in French, so this is the translator's wording.
