Suffering becomes beautiful when anyone bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility but through greatness of mind.
Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.
All great and beautiful work has come of first gazing without shrinking into the darkness.
Great minds discuss ideas average minds discuss events small minds discuss people.
My success was not based so much on any great intelligence but on great common sense.
GREAT, BASED ON GREAT COMMON SENSE
All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.
Most great people have attained their greatest success just one step beyond their greatest failure.
