More From Umberto Eco

Countrymen, the task ahead is great indeed, and heavy is the responsibility; and yet it is a noble and glorious challenge - a challenge which calls for the courage to dream, the courage to believe, the courage to dare, the courage to do, the courage to envision, the courage to fight, the courage to work, the courage to achieve - to achieve the highest excellencies and the fullest greatness of man. dare we ask for more in life?

In the long run the answer to all those who object to the doctrine of hell, is itself a question: what are you asking god to do? to wipe out their past sins and, at all costs, to give them a fresh start, smoothing every difficulty and offering every miraculous help? but he has done so, on calvary. to forgive them? they will not be forgiven. to leave them alone? alas, i am afraid that is what he does.

Man ever talks, and man ever dreams of better days that are yet to be, after glittering goal, that distant gleams, running and racing untiringly. the worldly may grow old and young as it will, but the hope of man is improvement still. hope bears him into life in her arms, she flutters around the boy's young bloom, the soul of youth with her magic warms, nor rests with age in the silent tomb; for ends man his weary course at the grave, there plants he hope o'er his ashes to wave.
