The history of the world is the history of a few men who had faith in themselves.

Neither seek nor avoid; take what comes. It is liberty to be affected by nothing. Do not merely endure; be unattached.

If you are pure, if you are strong, you, one man are equal to the whole world.

Man must rise above the Earth - to the top of the atmosphere and beyond - for only thus will he fully understand the world in which he lives.

It is a struggle for maintaining in the world, that form and substance of government whose leading object is to elevate the condition of men.

The world is not composed of heroes and villains, but of men and women with all the passions that God has given them. The ignorant condemn, but the wise pity.
