The greatest victory a man can win is victory over himself.

Is it then saying too much if I say, that man by thinking only becomes truly man? Take away thought from man's life, and what remains?

Thinking leads man to knowledge. He may see and hear, and read and learn, as much as he please; he will never know any of it, except that which he has thought over, that which by thinking he has made the property of his mind. Is it then saying too much if I say, that man by thinking only becomes truly man? Take away thought from man's life, and what remains?

The greatest victory a man can win is victory over himself.

You can drive the devil out of your garden but you will find him again in the garden of your son.

There is no happiness for him who oppresses and persecutes; no, there can be no repose for him. For the sighs of the unfortunate cry for vengeance to heaven.

Man must search for what is right, and let happiness come on its own.
