Idealism is not a paralyzing but a liberating force, and to strive for principles, even if the journey is never completed, is to tap a vast source of energy.

Nothing is really over until the moment you stop trying. Don't give up when you still have something to give.

Life is not a race, but a journey to be savored each step of the way. Knowledge is weightless, a treasure you can always carry easily.

Our conscience must catch up to our reason, otherwise we are lost.
