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

Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.

Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.

Character may be manifested in the great moments, but it is made in the small ones.

That some achieve great success, is proof to all that others can achieve it as well.

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

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

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

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

There are many of us that are willing to do great things for the Lord, but few of us are willing to do little things.
