"We cannot despair of humanity, since we..." - Quote by Albert Einstein

“Everything that exists in your life, does so because of two things: something you did or something you didn't do.”

“If there is no price to be paid, it is also not of value.”

“The years of anxious searching in the dark, with their intense longing, their alternations of confidence and exhaustion and the final emergence into the light -- only those who have experienced it can understand it.”

“He is a hard man who is only just, and a sad one who is only wise.”

“Always regard every man as an end in himself, and never use him merely as a means to your ends [i.e., respect that each person has a life and purpose that is their own; do not treat people as objects to be exploited].”

“Man is the highest being that exists, and this is the greatest world.”

“Be not dismayed; in the future lies the Promised Land.”

“I hope that the memory of our friendship will be everlasting.”

“Men who are sincere in defending their freedom, will always feel concern at every circumstance which seems to make against them; it is the natural and honest consequence of all affectionate attachments, and the want of it is a vice. But the dejection lasts only for a moment; they soon rise out of it with additional vigor; the glow of hope, courage and fortitude, will, in a little time, supply the place of every inferior passion, and kindle the whole heart into heroism.”
