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

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

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

Only those who dare to fail greatly can ever achieve greatly.

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

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

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

The greatest way to live with honor in this world is to be what we pretend to be.

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

Beware of little expenses. A small leak will sink a great ship.
