"

2 " I find dreams of this type to be one of the wonders of the world and the human race. It is a miracle what can be built from a dream with nothing but two hands, and honest heart and ambition. Education is very important too, but even that is unnecessary if the dream is of sufficient strength and the cause is sufficiently noble and interesting to the individual. "
3 " And do you know why we have not the power to attain this Stoic ideal? It is because we refuse to believe in our power. Nay, of a surety, there is something else which plays a part: it is because we are in love with our vices; we uphold them and prefer to make excuses for them rather than shake them off. We mortals have been endowed with sufficient strength by nature, if only we use this strength, if only we concentrate our powers and rouse them all to help us or at least not to hinder us. The reason is unwillingness, the excuse, inability. "
― Seneca , Letters from a Stoic
4 " If conquest constitutes a natural right on the part of the few, the many have only to gather sufficient strength in order to acquire the natural right of reconquering what has been taken from them "
