“A man may die, nations may rise and fall, but an idea lives on. Ideas have endurance without death.”
“Hitherto man had to live with the idea of death as an individual; from now onward mankind will have to live with the idea of its death as a species.”
“To die is poignantly bitter, but the idea of having to die without having lived is unbearable.”
“Neither man nor nation can exist without a sublime idea.”
“No man can begin to mould himself on a faith or an idea without rising to a higher order of experience.”
“You may die a hundred deaths without a break in the mental turmoil. Or, you may keep your body and die only in the mind. The death of the mind is the birth of wisdom.”
