Fate is nothing but the deeds committed in a prior state of existence.

We call first truths those we discover after all the others.

Man is a credulous animal, and must believe something; in the absence of good grounds for belief, he will be satisfied with bad ones.

Change does not roll in on the wheels of inevitability, but comes through continuous struggle. And so we must straighten our backs and work for our freedom. A man can't ride you unless your back is bent.

There are those who give with joy, and that joy is their reward.
