A civilization is built on what is required of men, not on that which is provided for them.
And now here is my secret, a very simple secret; it is only with the heart that one can see rightly, what is essential is invisible to the eye.
It is only with the heart that one can see rightly; what is essential is invisible to the eye.
For true love is inexhaustible; the more you give, the more you have. And if you go to draw at the true fountainhead, the more water you draw, the more abundant is its flow.
I have no right, by anything I do or say, to demean a human being in his own eyes. What matters is not what I think of him; it is what he thinks of himself. To undermine a man's self-respect is a sin.
I know but one freedom, and that is the freedom of the mind.
If you want to build a ship, don't drum up people to collect wood and don't assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
Life has meaning only if one barters it day by day for something other than itself.
Life has taught us that love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward in the same direction.
Only he can understand what a farm is, what a country is, who shall have sacrificed part of himself to his farm or country, fought to save it, struggled to make it beautiful. Only then will the love of farm or country fill his heart.
Tell me who admires and loves you, and I will tell you who you are.
The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.
The one thing that matters is the effort.
The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.
To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible.
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
