"Every obstacle is destroyed through rigor...." - Quote by Leonardo Da Vinci

“The truth of things is the chief nutriment of superior intellects.”

“O time! swift devourer of all created things!”

“Just as a well-filled day brings blessed sleep, so a well-employed life brings a blessed death.”

“It isn't the mountains ahead to climb that wear you out; it's the pebble in your shoe.”

“With love's light wings did I o'er-perch these walls, for stony limits cannot hold love out”

“If it had not been for the English I should have been emperor of the East, but wherever there is water to float a ship we are sure to find them in our way.”

“Just like moons and suns, With certainty of tides, Just like hopes springing high, Still I'll rise.”

“It take many a year, mon, and maybe some bloodshed must be, but righteousness someday prevail.”

“Resolve says, 'I will.' The man says, 'I will climb this mountain. They told me it is too high, too far, too steep, too rocky, and too difficult. But it's my mountain. I will climb it. You will soon see me waving from the top or dead on the side from trying.'”
