The history of the human race is a continual struggle from darkness into light. It is, therefore, to no purpose to discuss the use of knowledge; man wants to know, and when he ceases to do so, is no longer a man.

Happiness is the struggle towards a summit and, when it is attained, it is happiness to glimpse new summits on the other side.

Man wants to know, and when he ceases to do so, he is no longer a man.

The difficult is what takes a little time; the impossible is what takes a little longer.
