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

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

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

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

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

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