One sees great things from the valley only small things from the peak.

Many great actions are committed in small struggles.

A great pleasure in life is doing what people say you cannot do.

There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.

Only passions, great passions can elevate the soul to great things.

If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

Pray that your loneliness may spur you into finding something to live for, great enough to die for.

A constant struggle, a ceaseless battle to bring success from inhospitable surroundings, is the price of all great achievements.

If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.

Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
