As long as a man's heart beats, as long as a man's flesh quivers, I do not allow that a being gifted with thought and will can allow himself to despair.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
He who is not just is severe, he who is not wise is sad.
So long as we have failed to eliminate any of the causes of human despair, we do not have the right to try to eliminate those means by which man tries to cleanse himself of despair.
A man is but the product of his thoughts what he thinks, he becomes.
A man who does not think for himself does not think at all.
If a man does not control his temper, it is a sad admission that he is not in control of his thoughts.
With no matter what human being, taken individually, I always find reasons for concluding that sorrow and misfortune do not suit him; either because he seems too mediocre for anything so great, or, on the contrary, too precious to be destroyed.
He who despairs of the human condition is a coward, but he who has hope for it is a fool.
Only a man who has felt ultimate despair is capable of feeling ultimate bliss.
Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing - where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do.
The superior man is distressed by the limitations of his ability; he is not distressed by the fact that men do not recognize the ability that he has.
