It is not the truth in which he is in possession, or imagines that he is in possession, but the honest toil he gave himself to acquire it that makes a man worth, because it is not by possession, but by research that his powers increase... Possession makes you quiet, lazy, haughty.

Romanian

"Nu adevărul în a cărui posesie se află, sau își închipuie că se află, ci osteneala sinceră pe care și-a dat-o ca să-l dobândească face valoarea omului, fiindcă nu prin posesie, ci prin cercetare îi sporesc puterile... Posesia te face liniștit, leneș, trufaș."
