“Le courage, c'est de dominer ses propres fautes, d'en souffrir, mais de n'en pas être accablé et de continuer son chemin. Le courage, c'est d'aimer la vie et de regarder la mort d'un regard tranquille ; c'est d'aller à l'idéal et de comprendre le réel ; c'est d'agir et de se donner aux grandes causes sans savoir quelle récompense réserve à notre effort l'univers profond, ni s'il lui réserve une récompense. Le courage, c'est de chercher la vérité et de la dire ; c'est de ne pas subir la loi du mensonge triomphant qui passe, et de ne pas faire écho, de notre âme, de notre bouche et de nos mains aux applaudissements imbéciles et aux huées fanatiques.”

“So many people live within unhappy circumstances and yet will not take the initiative to change their situation because they are conditioned to a life of security, conformity, and conservatism, all of which may appear to give one peace of mind, but in reality nothing is more dangerous to the adventurous spirit within a man than a secure future. The very basic core of a man’s living spirit is his passion for adventure. The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.”
