What ought a man to be? Well, my short answer is ‘himself’.
Hvad skal manden v’re? Sig selv, det er mit korte svar.
More quotes by Henrik Ibsen
The spirit of truth and the spirit of freedom — these are the pillars of society.
A community is like a ship; everyone ought to be prepared to take the helm.
Whether I pound or am being pounded,
all the same there will be moaning!
A thousand words can't
make the mark a single deed will leave.
The State has its root in time, and will ripe and rot in time.
