Jean Rostand

Beauty in art is often nothing but ugliness subdued.

It takes a very deep-rooted opinion to survive unexpressed.

We spend our time envying people whom we wouldn't wish to be.

To have dominion by religion, is to have dominion over men's souls, thus over their very spiritual life, and to use the Divine things, which are in their religion, as the means.

Before I die, I will preach to the Muslims in the Arab world. I will preach in Egypt, Lebanon, Syria and Iran. I will preach in Tehran. I will do it under the umbrella of God. And see its impact.

All commend patience, but none can endure to suffer.
