To busy oneself with what is futile when one can do something useful, to attend to what is simple when one has the mettle to attempt what is difficult, is to strip talent of its dignity.

Do something useful and you will have everything you want. Doors are shut for those who are dull and lazy; life is secure for those who obey the law of work.

The only way to be totally free is through education.

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

The brave forget. It is those who fought less bravely, or those who fought without justice and live in fear of their victory, who forget the least.

The struggles waged by nations are weak only when they lack support in the hearts of their women.

We light the oven so that everyone may bake bread in it.
