“History is a nightmare from which I am trying to awake.”

When the soul of a man is born in this country there are nets flung at it to hold it back from flight.

Life is too short to read a bad book.

Better pass boldly into that other world, in the full glory of some passion, than fade and wither dismally with age.

Mistakes are the portals of discovery.

Once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.
