Jules Verne
Image

Jules Verne
Image
We now know most things that can be measured in this world, except the bounds of human ambition!
Jules Verne
Image
Man is never perfect nor contented.
Jules Verne
Image
[we see that] science is eminently perfectible, and that each theory has constantly to give way to a fresh one.
Jules Verne
Image
Travel enables us to enrich our lives with new experiences, to enjoy and to be educated, to learn respect for foreign cultures, to establish friendships, and above all to contribute to international cooperation and peace throughout the world.
Jules Verne
Image
Though sleep is called our best friend, it is a friend who often keeps us waiting!
Jules Verne
Image
When the mind once allows a doubt to gain entrance, the value of deeds performed grow less, their character changes, we forget the past and dread the future.
Jules Verne
