To educate is to give man the keys to the world, which are independence and love, and to give him strength to journey on his own, light of step, a spontaneous and free being.

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.

I come from all places and to all places I go: I am art among the arts and mountain among mountains. I know the strange names of flowers and herbs and of fatal deceptions and magnificent griefs. In night's darkness I've seen raining down on my head pure flames, flashing rays of beauty divine.

I have lived in the monster and I know its insides; and my sling is the sling of David.

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

Men have no special right because they belong to one race or another: the word man defines all rights.

To Educate is to Free.
