Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Welcome anything that comes to you, but do not long for anything else.
Andre Gide
What another would have done as well as you, do not do it. What another would have said as well as you, do not say it; what another would have written as well, do not write it. Be faithful to that which exists nowhere but in yourself-and thus make yourself indispensable.
Andre Gide

Andre Gide
Work and struggle and never accept an evil that you can change.
Andre Gide
