Anatole France

I don't agree with all of this fellow's conclusions, but there are a few gems of wisdom among some of his quotes:

"All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another."

"To accomplish great things, we must not only act but also dream, not only plan but also believe."
