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

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

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

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

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

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

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

To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.

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

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