It's not enough merely to exist. Every man has to seek in his own way to make his own self more noble and to relize his own true worth.

To work for the common good is the greatest creed.

Civilization can only revive when there shall come into being in a number of individuals a new tone of mind, independent of the prevalent one among the crowds, and in opposition to it - a tone of mind which will gradually win influence over the collective one, and in the end determine its character.

Ideals are thoughts. So long as they exist merely as thoughts, the power in them remains ineffective.
