On this battlefield man has no better weapon than his intelligence, no other force but his heart.

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.

I die without seeing dawn's light shining on my country... You, who will see it, welcome it for me...don't forget those who fell during the nighttime.

It is enough for the evil people to succeed, for the good people to do nothing.

He who would love much has also much to suffer.

Genius has no country. It blossoms everywhere. Genius is like the light, the air. It is the heritage of all.

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.
