"Every man builds his world in his own image. He has the power to choose, but no power to escape the necessity of choice."
"From this simplest necessity to the highest religious abstraction, from the wheel to the skyscraper, everything we are and everything we have comes from a single attribute of man-the function of his reasoning mind."
"There is no escape from justice, nothing can be unearned and unpaid for in the universe, neither in matter nor in spirit-and if the guilty do not pay, then the innocent have to pay it."

It's the hardest thing in the world-to do what we want. And it takes the greatest kind of courage."
