“We've learned to fly the air like birds, we've learned to swim the seas like fish, and yet we haven't learned to walk the earth as brothers and sisters”
“I would suffer all the humiliation, all the torture, the absolute ostracism and even death, to prevent violence”
“We will never have peace in the world until men everywhere recognize that ends are not cut off from means, because the means represent the ideal in the making, and the end in process, and ultimately you can't reach good ends through evil means, because the means represent the seed and the end represents the tree.”
More on Ideas
“Keep away from books and from men who get their ideas from books, and your own books will always be fresh.”
“There is no longer a single idea explaining everything, but an infinite number of essences giving a meaning to an infinite number of objects. The world comes to a stop, but also lights up.”
“One sound idea is all that you need to achieve success.”
More on Change
“How shall one who is so weak in his childhood become really strong when he grows older? We only change our fancies.”
“Nothing is going to change, unless someone does something soon”
“It ought to be remembered that there is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things. Because the innovator has for enemies all those who have done well under the old conditions, and lukewarm defenders in those who may do well under the new. This coolness arises partly from fear of the opponents, who have the laws on their side, and partly from the incredulity of men, who do not readily believe in new things until they have had a long experience of them.”
