I do not write for this generation. I am writing for other ages. If this could read me, they would burn my books, the work of my whole life. On the other hand, the generation which interprets these writings will be an educated generation; they will understand me and say: Not all were asleep in the nighttime of our grandparents.

God has made man a cosmopolite. He created seas for ships to glide on, the wind to push them, and the stars to guide them even in darkest night.

No good water comes from a muddy spring. No sweet fruit comes from a bitter seed.

The glory of saving a country is not for him who has contributed to its ruin.

He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.

To be happy does not mean to indulge in foolishness!
