| Every man has his own courage, and is betrayed because he seeks in himself the courage of other persons. |
| Knowledge is of no value unless you put it into practice. |
| Really great people make you feel that you, too, can become great. |
| Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore. |
| Great men are meteors that burn so that the earth may be lighted. |
| Keep away from people who try to belittle your ambitions. Small people always do that, but the really great make you feel that you, too, can become great. |
| Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid. |
| The true genius shudders at incompleteness - imperfection - and usually prefers silence to saying the something which is not everything that should be said. |
| It's through the small things that we develop our moral imagination, so that we can understand the sufferings of others. |
| Grief knits two hearts in closer bonds than happiness ever can; and common sufferings are far stronger links than common joys. |
