Each man kills the things he loves.<br /> There is nothing so powerful as the truth and nothing so strange.<br /> It is easier to fight for ones principles than to live up to them.<br /> Life is not a problem to be solve, but a reality to be experienced.<br /> In theory, there is no difference between theory and practice but in practice, there is.<br /> One never notice what has been done; one can only see what remains to be done.<br /> Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stoke of luck.<br /> Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.<br /> The roots of education are bitter but the fruits are sweet.<br /> They always talk who never thinks
