All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy... - Anatole France

"To accomplish great things, we must dream as well as act."

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another."

"The average man, who does not know what to do with his life, wants another one which will last forever."

"The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening the natural curiosity of young minds for the purpose of satisfying it afterwards."

"It is by acts and not by ideas that people live."
