a common vice...........

      I should be prone to excuse our people for having no other pattern and rule of perfection than their own manners and customs, for it is a common vice, not of the vulgar only but of almost all men, to fix their aim and limit by the ways to which they were born.

Michel de Montaigne, The Complete Works, Book 1, Chapter 49
