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

Many great actions are committed in small struggles.

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

All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy, and great things in that which is small.

Silence is one of the great arts of conversation.

Character, in great and little things, means carrying through what you feel able to do.

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

All great and beautiful work has come of first gazing without shrinking into the darkness.

Enthusiasm is the mother of effort, and without it nothing great was ever achieved.

People respond when you tell them there is a great future in front of you, you can leave your past behind.
