Man is a living duty, a depository of powers that he must not leave in a brute state. Man is a wing.

Liberty is the right of every man to be honest, to think and to speak without hypocrisy.

Other famous men, those of much talk and few deeds, soon evaporate. Action is the dignity of greatness.

A child who does not think about what happens around him and is content with living without wondering whether he lives honestly is like a man who lives from a scoundrel's work and is on the road to being a scoundrel.

Like stones rolling down hills, fair ideas reach their objectives despite all obstacles and barriers. It may be possible to speed or hinder them, but impossible to stop them.

To beautify life is to give it an object.

Men are like the stars; some generate their own light while others reflect the brilliance they receive.
