Nothing exasperates the spirit in man more than power which seems unconquerable and which makes impotent all protest.

The spirit, like the body, can be strengthened and developed by frequent exercise. Just as the body, if neglected, grows weaker and finally impotent, so the spirit perishes if untended.
Man is so made that when anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish.
Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!

The almost insoluble task is to let neither the power of others, nor our own powerlessness, stupefy us.
Law, without force, is impotent.
Unrest of spirit is a mark of life.
