Man is, above all, he who creates.

Each man must look to himself to teach him the meaning of life. It is not something discovered: it is something molded.

Sometimes we behave as though there was something more important than life. But what?

There is no liberty except the liberty of some one making his way towards something. Such a man can be set free if you will teach him the meaning of thirst, and how to trace a path to a well. Only then will he embark upon a course of action that will not be without significance. You could not liberate a stone if there were no law of gravity - for where will the stone go, once it is quarried?

You will have five hundred million little bells, and I shall have five hundred million springs of fresh water.

What sets us against one another is not our aims - they all come to the same thing - but our methods, which are the fruit of our varied reasoning.

The dignity of the individual demands that he be not reduced to vassalage by the largesse of others.
