"No nation is wise enough to rule..." - Quote by Helen Keller

“Fear: the best way out is through.”

“Life is an exciting business, and most exciting when it is lived for others.”

“There is a dangerous optimism of ignorance and indifference.”

“Learn of the skillful; he that teaches himself, has a fool for his master.”

“There seems to be hardly any one among my acquaintance from whom I have not learned.”

“The first forty years of our life give the text, the next thirty furnish the commentary upon it, which enables us rightly to understand the true meaning and connection of the text with its moral and its beauties.”

“There is no class of people so hard to manage in a state, as those whose intentions are honest, but whose consciences are bewitched.”

“If there were only some way of contriving that a state or an army should be made up of lovers and their beloved, they would be the very best governors of their own city, abstaining from all dishonour, and emulating one another in honour; and when fighting at each other's side, although a mere handful, they would overcome the world. For what lover would not choose rather to be seen by all mankind than by his beloved, either when abandoning his post or throwing away his arms? He would be ready to die a thousand deaths rather than endure this.”

“To me the function of politics is to make possible the desirable.”
