People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built.

There is a desire for progress in the hearts of all men, and it is the sense of frustration and inability to move forward that brings violent revolution.

There is nothing to regret, either for those who go, or for those who stay behind — only an inheritance of good accomplishment to be lived up to by those who carry a loving memory in their hearts.

It takes courage to love, but pain through love is the purifying fire which those who love generously know.

Because they have so little, children must rely on imagination rather than experience.

You rarely achieve finality. If you did, life would be over, but as you strive new visions open before you, new possibilities for the satisfaction of living.

I believe that all that we go through here must have some value.
