Even when I am gone, I shall remain in people's minds the star of their rights, my name will be the war cry of their efforts, the motto of their hopes. Ten people who speak make more noise than ten thousand who are silent. In politics stupidity is not a handicap. A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.
History is the version of past events that people have decided to agree upon.
A society without religion is like a vessel without compass. Men of genius are meteors intended to burn to light their century. Know how to listen and be sure that silence often produces the same effects than science. How men of letters are stupid. We are born, we live, we die among supernatural.
