Man is multiplied by the "number of languages" he possesses and speaks. (Los Viajes!)

– Dr. Jose P. RizalRate it:

Man is never honestly the fatalist, nor even the stoic. He fights his fate, often desperately. He is forever entering bold exceptions to the rulings of the bench of gods.

Man is never out of range of surprises!

Man is only a reed, the weakest in nature; but he is a thinking reed. There is no need for the whole universe to take up arms to crush him: a vapor, a drop of water is enough to kill him.

The universe knows nothing of this.
