All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than animals that know nothing.

If you love yourself meanly, childishly, timidly, even so shall you love your neighbor.

All our knowledge merely helps us to die a more painful death than the animals that know nothing. A day will come when science will turn upon its error and no longer hesitate to shorten our woes. A day will come when it will dare and act with certainty; when life, grown wiser, will depart silently at its hour, knowing that it has reached its term.

To have known how to change the past into a few saddened smiles-is this not to master the future?

The manner in which the hours of freedom are spent determines, no less than labor and war, the moral worth of a nation.

When we lose one we love, our bitterest tears are called forth by the memory of hours when we loved not enough.

An obstacle is not a discouragement. It may become one, but only with our own consent. So long as we refuse to be discouraged, we cannot be discouraged.
