“To die for an idea; it is unquestionably noble. But how much nobler it would be if men died for ideas that were true!”
“It is better to die for an idea that will live, than to live for an idea that will die”
“Humans are mortal. So are ideas. An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs watering. Otherwise both will wither and die.”
“Nobody died. how can you kill an idea? How can you kill the personification of an action?""Then what died? who are you mourning?""A point of view.”
“Whereas the staff, of course, was devoted to the idea that weak people should be helped as much as possible, that nobody should die.”
“To do good is noble. To tell others to do good is even nobler and much less trouble.”
