Great minds discuss ideas average minds discuss events small minds discuss people.

Nothing great in the world has ever been accomplished without passion.

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

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

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

People with great gifts are easy to find, but symmetrical and balanced ones never.

There is no greater agony than bearing an untold story inside you.

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

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

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.
