“The highest goal that man can achieve is amazement.”

“What you get by achieving your goals is not as important as what you become by achieving your goals.”

“For a man to achieve all that is demanded of him, he must regard himself as greater than he is.”

“Love grants in a moment what toil can hardly achieve in an age.”

“Difficulties increase the nearer we get to the goal.”

“When a nation which has long groaned under the intolerable yoke of a tyrant rises at last and throws off its chains, do you call that weakness? The man who, to rescue his house from the flames, finds his physical strength redoubled, so that he lifts burdens with ease which in the absence of excitement he could scarcely move; he who under the rage of an insult attacks and puts to flight half a score of his enemies,—are such persons to be called weak? My good friend, if resistance be strength, how can the highest degree of resistance be a weakness?”

“You can easily judge the character of a man by how he treats those who can do nothing for him.”
