Quote

Man is a creature of hope and invention, both of which belie the idea that things cannot be changed.

Man is the only creature that strives to surpass himself, and yearns for the impossible.

Man is the only creature that refuses to be what he is.

The laws of God, the laws of man he may keep that will and can; not I: let God and man decree laws for themselves and not for me.

Life belongs to the living, and he who lives must be prepared for changes.

Man is the creature of circumstances.

Man may act according to that principle or inclination which for the present happens to be strongest, and yet act in a way disproportionate to, and violate his real proper nature.

The bad man desires arbitrary power. What moves the evil man is the love of injustice.

Let no man imagine that he has no influence. Whoever he may be, and wherever he may be placed, the man who thinks becomes a light and a power.

A man who goes forth to take the life of another whom he does not know must believe one thing only - that by his act he will change the course of history.
