I believe in the fundamental truth of all great religions of the world.

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

Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.

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

Death comes to all, but great achievements build a monument which shall endure until the sun grows cold.

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

Many great actions are committed in small struggles.

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

Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.

After climbing a great hill, one only finds that there are many more hills to climb.
