Let ignorance talk as it will, learning has its value.

Jean de La Fontaine

Man is never honestly the fatalist, nor even the stoic. He fights his fate, often desperately. He is forever entering bold exceptions to the rulings of the bench of gods. This fighting, no doubt, makes for human progress, for it favors the strong and the brave. It also makes for beauty, for lesser men try to escape from a hopeless and intolerable world by creating a more lovely one of their own.

H. L. Mencken

There are certain moments in the history of a nation when the choices made define the decades to come.

Georgios A. Papandreou

Writing is a dreadful labor, yet not so dreadful as Idleness.

Thomas Carlyle

Hell is paved with good intentions, not bad ones

George Bernard Shaw

Leo Tolstoy
