Quote

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

Unless a man undertakes more than he possibly can do, he will never do all he can do.

There are certain moments when we might wish the future were built by men of the past.

All imaginable futures are not equally possible.

A man can do all things if he but wills them.

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

Great changes cannot take place in the minds of generations of men without a corresponding change in their external symbols. There must be a harmony between the inner and the outward condition of human beings, and the progress of the one must keep pace with the progress of the other.

Let a man turn to his own childhood - no further - if he will renew his sense of remoteness, and of the mystery of change.

A man can do what he ought to do; and when he says he cannot, it is because he will not.

The becoming of man is the history of the exhaustion of his possibilities.
