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

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

There is no pain so great as the memory of joy in present grief.

If you listen to your fears, you will die never knowing what a great person you might have been.

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

All the great things are simple, and many can be expressed in a single word: freedom, justice, honor, duty, mercy, hope.

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

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.

Little minds are tamed and subdued by misfortune but great minds rise above them.

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