Doing nothing is happiness for children and misery for old men.
From Victor Hugo
Every diminution of the liberty of the press is followed by a diminution of civilization. Wherever we see the freedom of the press interfered with, there we see the nutrition of the human family interrupted.
Freedom in art, freedom in society, this is the double goal towards which all consistent and logical minds must strive.
One is not idle because one is absorbed. There is both visible and invisible labor. To contemplate is to toil, to think is to do. The crossed arms work, the clasped hands act. The eyes upturned to Heaven are an act of creation.
There is no such thing as a little country. The greatness of a people is no more determined by their numbers than the greatness of a man is by his height.
Hope is the word which God has written on the brow of every man.
Liberation is not deliverance.
Fashions have done more harm than revolutions.
As the purse is emptied, the heart is filled.
All the forces in the world are not so powerful as an idea whose time has come.
