A man's age represents a fine cargo of experience and memories.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery
To be a man is, precisely, to be responsible. It is to feel shame at the sight of what seems to be unmerited misery. It is to take pride in a victory won by one's comrades. It is to feel, when setting one's stone, that one is contributing to the building of the world.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
Perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add, but when there is no longer anything to take away, when a body has been stripped down to its nakedness.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
A civilization is built on what is required of men, not on that which is provided for them.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
It is the savor of bread broken with comrades that makes us accept the values of war.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
When you want to build a ship, then do not drum the men together in order to procure wood, to give instructions or to distribute the work, but teach them longing for the wide endless sea.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
