Some are born great, some achieve greatness, and some have greatness thrust upon them.

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

Silence is the element in which great things fashion themselves together.

Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.

Every happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.

My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.

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

The great thing in the world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.

Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.

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