I Have Done What I Could Do

At Every Crossway On The Path That Leads To The Future, Each Progressive Spirit Is Opposed By A Thousand Men Appointed To Guard The Past. Let Us Have No Fear That The Fair Towers Of Former Days Be Sufficiently Defended. The Least That The Most Timid Among Us Can Do Is Not To Add To The Immense Dead Weight That Nature Drags Along.

To Be Happy Is Only To Have Freed One's Soul From The Unrest Of Unhappiness.

To Disdain Today Is To Prove That Yesterday Has Been Misunderstood.

I Have Done What I Could Do In Life, And If I Could Not Do Better, I Did Not Deserve It. In Vain I Have Tried To Step Beyond What Bound Me.

To Be Good We Must Needs Have Suffered; But Perhaps It Is Necessary To Have Caused Suffering Before We Can Become Better.
