|  Through loyalty to the past, our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow's joy is possible only if today's makes way for it; that each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding one. | | Only those things are beautiful which are inspired by madness and written by reason. | | I owe much to my friends; but, all things considered, it strikes me that I owe even more to my enemies. The real person springs life under a sting even better than under a caress. | | It is easier to lead men to combat, stirring up their passion, than to restrain them and direct them toward the patient labors of peace. | | Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again. | | God depends on us. It is through us that God is achieved. | | Be faithful to that which exists within yourself. |
