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

"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."

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

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only plan, but also believe!"

"You learn to speak by speaking, to study by studying, to run by running, to work by working; in just the same way, you learn to love by loving."

"It is the certainty that they possess the truth that makes men cruel."
