|  Immortality is not a gift, Immortality is an achievement; And only those who strive mightily Shall possess it. | | Beware of the man who rises to power from one suspender. | | Those who first oppose a good work, seize it and make it their own, when the cornerstone is laid and memorial tablets are erected. | | How shall the soul of a man be larger than the life he has lived? | | To put meaning in one's life may end in madness, But life without meaning is the torture Of restlessness and vague desire-It is a boat longing for the sea and yet afraid. |
