From The Complete Works of Michel de Montaigne, translated by Donald M. Frame

PROVIDED

"And provided they do not go about it with too imperious and magisterial a frown, I lend a hand to the criticism people make of my writings, and have often changed them more out of civility than to improve them, loving to gratify and foster my critics' freedom to admonish me by the ease with which I yield -- yes, even at my own expense."
